AEROSTAT EXPERIMENT ALICANTE-CAIRO
Audiovisual diptych created in Alicante and Cairo.


Two pre-formative constructions which invite the contemplation of two cities from strained and suggestive camera perspectives.

The first part of the project was carried out in Alicante, where by using the power of 2m3 helium, we launched a video camera into the sky to register everything that happened underneath it. A fishing reel 500 meters in length helped to regulate the height of the camera while it wandered through streets, squares, and beaches, etc. The constant surprise and awe of the passers by turned into laughter and greetings towards the camera once they realised what was happening whilst the camera continued to register everything.

The second part of the project was carried out in Cairo, where for security reasons we were not allowed to fly the helium device above the city. A plan b was then activated, and what was a mishap to begin with became an enriching creation, showing two different but complimentary visions that allow spectators to compare and enjoy both.

The camera in Cairo descended to capture images at ground level. On this occasion we discover the city through the camera, we observe in awe how this perspective is even more interesting. We discover streets, its people, the breathtaking traffic and its peculiar cats. This project absorbs a small essence of both cities.

The result is an audiovisual diptych of large panoramic and zenith ground level takes. Due to the risky camera positions there is a constant movement that expands our view of the place. The camera registers people’s activities or their reactions when they encounter such a strange device and in addition, other images set as visual tapestry, complete the work.

Finally everything is shown in a non narrative cyclic edition, focusing its attention on a visual and sound rhythm stripped of all artifice.
