That Mysterious Light (Esa misteriosa luz)

According to a medieval legend, in 1345 a mysterious light would have fascinated the citizens of Manresa (Catalonia, Spain). For his medieval eyes light was much more than an optical phenomenon, it was the focus of philosophical, mystical and metaphysical reflections. Light was considered the origin of life and the principle of all beauty. The low tech video art piece "That mysterious light", proposes a dialogue with medieval thought that invites us to ponder about the role of light in our current lives, in a context characterised by excessive energy consumption. Through sound and visual textures, the relationship between light, nature and thought is explored. Work commissioned by the Festival Ponts de Llum Manresa in 2018.
