Jorge Castro
The Works of Jorge Castro is an immersive experience that uses video and sound to transport us to other worlds and explore our relationship with technology and time. These installations are made up of a series of images that show different scenarios, such as micro-landscapes, or small rituals in cities. The scenes are always creating a sensation of movement and fluidity in relation to sound. The viewer can tour the installation and view the videos from different angles. This allows you to experience micro-lapses in a new and unexpected way. These installations are an example of the potential of video and audio to create experimental artistic experiences.
