Mediodía

2016agnès b.
“Mediodía” presents a captivating orange brick wall disorienting and trapping those who pass in front of it and from which there is no escape. The colour orange is the main protagonist of the series. The viewer is placed in front of the wall which plunges him/her into a suffocating and hypnotising atmosphere.
“Mediodía” is a project on a source of light, a wall and a colour. For four years, David Hornillos regularly visited the area surrounding a railway station, endeavouring to abstract everything that happens within it, whilst at the same time building a theatrical stage on which he projects himself as a character captivated by the magnetic wall.
