ABELLÁN Juan Manuel

Intruder

Espagne

2017

An unexpected light in the middle of the night surprises silhouettes and forms start moving. At this point, this romantic place chases away intruders, and the shadow takes it place. Juan Manuel Abellán sculpted it with light, he wanted to create an ode to nature in the intimacy of the night, looking for the magic and the spirituality of the place. He found back a feeling of eternity and strange beauty, he felt as if he were watched and part of Nature, this infinite entity.
