Light Machines

A series of sunsets filmed over the course of a year are traversed by rays of light that permeate the Super 8 film through a structure of intentional light leaks. These create overexposed images that, in turn, intermingle with virtual sunsets and landscapes, creating a continuous flicker between natural and artificial light. The film is based on the idea of “light machines,” understood as devices capable of controlling and transforming light. Several of these machines are used in this film: the camera itself, filters, 3D lighting, flashlights, and crystals, which serve to materialize a constant contrast between structural control and the unpredictability of capturing flashes of light.
