01 Planning
A conversation held in light
We decided to speak in light to plants, the quietest and deepest of beings. The planning began from an exchange of inspiration with plants that offer healing simply by existing.
02 Design
The outlines of cactus and leaf
The columns of cacti and the outlines of agave leaves in the greenhouse became the projection surfaces. Projectors were placed at angles that do not disturb the form of the plants, and the process was organized from spatial analysis through projection method.
03 Production
Color flowing over the plants
For the cacti we made color that flows vertically; for the agave, light that spreads along the veins of the leaves. Color and motion were composed separately so that each plant changes at its own pace, as if breathing.
04 Operations
An operating desk that kept the greenhouse night
With a laptop and controller set among the plants, we operated the work on site, adjusting color and brightness. Visitors walked through the dark greenhouse, meeting one by one the plants that answered in light.
