The two-channel video installation „Cinema Oceano“ displays the conversion of an empty and abandoned parking lot transforming into an unusual cinema space without the presence of film or a movie screen.
Through the act of looking at the sea, we experience a still view shaping a solid form. The site-specific installation of a patchwork curtain draws viewers attention to the filmic window, which can be considered as the entrance of the cinema space.
Through reinstalling the elements of the work into the white cube, a reproduction of the public intervention Cinema Oceano is (re)achieved by the artists.
A sustained meditation on the reflection of time, space and the process of image making.
