In the evening. Open-air projections by PHotoEspaña

Fundación Banco Sabadell and PHotoEspaña invite four visual artists to carry out several works for this programme, which presents a series of works projected on unusual supports located at several different points in Madrid. Trees, façades of buildings and the urban structures of some of the Festival’s most emblematic places become open-air exhibition sites, providing the invited public and chance visitors with a stunning gallery of images.

For this occasion, Julien Nonnon reveals a sample of his work, which is essentially articulated around interaction with architecture and urban elements; Daniel Canogar presents an interactive projection following the guidelines of video-installation and public intervention; Javier Riera explores the relationships between nature and geometry through light interventions on the landscape; and Louise Mackenzie shows her interest in living matter and in relationships with the environment through a work that is based on the creating of installations, sculptures, performances, sounds and projections.
