Quadratura by Pablo Valbuena

Of all the video projection on architecture projects out there, I still like Pablo Valbuena his best. One of his latest projects is called Quadratura, a site-specific installation presented at Matadero Madrid, Spain.

Site-specific installation. Matadero Madrid. ES. 2010. Video projection on architecture.

Quadratura was the technique used in the baroque to extended architecture through trompe l’oeil and perspective constructions generated with paint or sculpture.

The site-specific installation presented at Matadero Madrid follows the same principles but manipulating space by means of projected light. The main axis of the room of Abierto x Obras is extended and the limits of the physical space dissolved.

This project has been possible thanks to the support of Matadero Madrid (Ayudas a la creación contemporánea) and Laboral Centro de Arte.

Pablo Valbuena

Pablo Valbuena was born in Madrid in 1978. He graduated in 2003 from ETSAM (Escuela Técnica Superior de Arquitectura de Madrid). He now lives and works in the south of France, where he continues his research. The dissolution of the boundaries between the real world and the perceived world, the relationship between time and space, the intertwining of reality and virtual experience, and the work of light are his favourite themes. He exhibits his work in public spaces during several Nuits Blanches in Paris, as well as in contemporary art biennials internationally. Pablo Valbuena received the Audemars Piguet ARCO Prize in 2015.
