In this workshop with María Ortega we address the notion of how light modifies the boundaries between space and our bodies, asking the following questions: Where does the boundary between ourselves and our environment end? How does light change how spaces are perceived? How do we see ourselves in different environments? Through various games involving light, we will explore our physical and perceptual limits. We will begin the workshop by investigating how we are influenced by different lighting and spaces, before moving onto a fun exploration of Darya von Berner’s installation (SELFI). Finally, we will transfer these ideas to our own bodies.
