< Arte Abierto > presents Mnemosyne, a light installation by Mexican artist Paolo Montiel Coppa, which will be on display and open to the public from November 29th, 2019 to March 29th, 2020 on the ground floor of the architectural complex Artz Pedregal.

Paolo Montiel Coppa, is a Mexican artist, who works with different lighting alterations through spatial experiments.

Montiel Coppa, studied physics, art, music and audio engineering dedicated to lighting programming and design. His artistic production is concentrated in installations of kinetic light art in situ. His work investigates the possibilities of light from an artistic platform that has allowed him to express new formats through various public facilities.

In Greek mythology, Mnemosyne (in Greek Mνημοσυνη) is the personification of memory and mother (with Zeus) of the nine muses. He has the knowledge of the origins and roots, power that goes beyond the limits of the beyond. The installation title is a reference to memory.

In the words of the artist, he wants to make the audience return to the origins of the memory of the arts, through a physical experience recreated by games of lights, visuals and sound pieces that make up the piece.

Mnemosyne is an exercise around his light research, this project will be developed and directed to the viewer as an experience inside a giant kaleidoscope.

With this piece Montiel wants to provoke in the visitor a special moment, a memory of life that activates the memory of the spectator, so that he connects with his creativity allowing him to re-awake different experiences through projections of digitally altered organic images and lights; which when combined with sound pieces, will lead the visitor to enter a meditative state.

THE INSTALLATION WILL BE ACTIVE FROM TUESDAY TO SUNDAY FROM 11:00 TO 19:00 HRS. MONDAY WILL REMAIN CLOSED.
