María de la Cámara and Gabriel Paré Lezcano have been working since the mid-1990s in the development of applied arts within the field of space. With backgrounds in visual arts, theatre, and architecture, they graduated from ESAD with a specialization in scenography and lighting. Their work stands out for its ongoing research into space, light, and the objects that inhabit it, with a transgressive approach that places them at the limits of paratheatricality. The perceptual fusion between space and light is at the core of their work.
Teaching / Research
They teach in master’s and postgraduate programs at the Universitat Politècnica de Catalunya, Escola Elisava in Barcelona, ESAD, and Escola Universitària Bau.
