LAS LÁMPARAS #5 is an electrical choreography in which light becomes audible and sound visible. Instead of putting the spotlights at the service of sight, Leticia Skrycky turns them into sensitive membranes that record the resonance frequencies of the architecture where they are and translate them into electrical alterations. We can be able to see the changes that light undergoes, but also feel its warmth or hear its interferences.
How can the eyes touch? How can the ears see? How can the skin listen? Leticia Skrycky wonders, what senses are we losing when we reduce our perception exclusively to what we can see? In other words: what are the costs of the hegemony of vision in our daily lives? Guided by these questions, associated with relational perception ecosystems, this fifth iteration of LAS LÁMPARAS project continues exploring her research on haptic experience through the sequence of doing-observing-thinking-doing with matter and gesture. LÁMPARAS is a system of material vitality that investigates how scenic invocation practices and luminous- sound systems can make a non-visible negative space emerge – as a mechanism that estranges vision and opens up other typologies of sensory perception.
With the will not to explain anything, but to provide a place of cohabitation that allows us to temporarily suspend sight. Or, as proposed by Marina Garcés, to let our eyes fall back onto the body.
