TABLEAUX VIVANTS

This series of “living pictures” starts out from a poetical exploration of “views” similar to the first images produced by daguerreotypes where the magic of the dialogue between the moving images of the camera obscura and the sound, do carry us to timeless and oneiric scenes.

This Project was made with a device created by me, a hybrid between an archaic obscure camera and a digital support.

Daguerreotype came to Colombia in 1841 brought by a French diplomat. In this project we went first to France to take the first images of our invention, and to start, as in the daguerrean expeditions, to find a new world with our camera.
