The seventh edition of Llum BCN, the urban light festival for the Festes de Santa Eulàlia, features the participation of students on the EINA Bachelor’s Degree in Design and their project: “Fugue”.
As part of the Digital Creation subject, in the 4th year of the Bachelor’s Degree in Design, led by Santi Vilanova, the students have developed “Fugue”, an interactive audiovisual installation offering a look back at the industrial past of the Poblenou neighbourhood and its current – and growing – appropriation of the heritage.
The students taking part are Elisa Alcaide, Laura Andreu, Mireia Banchs, Abel Bueno, Noelia Cabrera, Sonia Casanova, Maria Cejudo, Miriam Duran, Marina Esbrí, Gabriela Eskenazi, Guillem Expósito, Aina Fontich, Delfina Fraschina, Queralt Guinart, Sarai Herrera, Irene Marcuello, Laura Morales, Laura Niubó, Pilar Osorio, Margarita Pérez, Sergio Rodríguez and Mar Senén.
Fugue
Through a visual musical exercise, based on the formal and conceptual research into visual and sound relationships, it plays with the idea of the musical fugue applied both to sound and image: geometric compositions, repetition, reflection, inversion...
This idea of “fugue” extends to the space, distorting the perception of perspective through the superimposing and repetition of elements that accentuate the fugue point of the very location of the installation, Passatge de la Vinyassa.
The repetition of tulle canvases, which act as video projection screens, allow a play on transparencies and volumetrics to be created. This transparency allows for a dialogue between the real space and the projected image, establishing a relationship between the receptacle (the street) and the content (the image).
The project invites pedestrians to take part in this piece of visual music with the aim of creating a bond between the users and the installation. The aim is for “Fugue” to become an audiovisual instrument that can be played collectively, facilitating interaction not only with the work but between the users themselves.
