Project

Edgar Pires is developing a project that evokes the experience stimulated by close observation of everyday life. It is used as a means to understand the world, to demystify it through pre-existing phenomenological events, specifically in the way the light, either natural or artificial, is molded inside the palace.
Choosing the White Room as a place of intervention, the artist wants to make an installation exploring the sunlight as a source for creating images of principle. There will be sets of images / reflections in movement that, over time, break down the structure of his own composition. they are constructed and deconstructed, depending on the movement of the sunlight. 

Beyond the intervention it is intended to realize a publication of the entire process, the result of spontaneous trials before the installation, which wanders between photography and video and meets the narrative of the residence.
