Traces of light

'Traces of light' is an expanded animation project in which hand-made drawings come to real life and occupy real spaces in the streets of Bogotá, Colombia. Birds, swings, and chairs inhabit the walls of the city, and as people interact with them the city itself changes. However, those interactions only last while the light projections are live.
The life-span of the drawings is ephemeral, and so is the projection.

Director Statement

'The City as an infinite canvas' - That was the premise that inspired the whole project. To draw over the city, as if it was paper.
