In November 2015 three creatives traveled to Paramaribo, the bustling capital of a lesser known nation on the northeastern coast of South America. They arrived with a simple goal, to combine forces in a series of experiments, mixing film, light and muralism.
Felipe Pantone is a visual artist based in Valencia, Spain. His work explores themes of futurism, technology, glitches, and the advancement of the species. Strong contrasts, vivid colors, effects, and the use of mixed medium and varied technique combine to impact strongly on the viewer. Obsessed with speed and forward motion, Felipe has taken his large scale mural work worldwide, having painted walls in 5 continents.
Rebecca Smith (Urban Projections) is a multidisciplinary creative based in the UK. Her project Stylus explores progressive forms of combining projection mapping with hand crafted image. In a live performance, both elements evolve and interact, to create a canvas of movement, light and paint.
Selina Miles is a filmmaker from Australia. She specialises in the exploration graffiti culture.
Invited to the Switi Rauw street art festival, the group experimented with their respective disciplines and inspirational surroundings to create a series of living murals. Over three days, with alternative resources and a range of challenges to their practice, they collaborated to produce three very different walls. Each taking a hand painted mural as the basis for projected light, colour and shadow, the completion of the pieces happened after dusk when the sun had set and beamers turned on. "Fluorescencia" documents the adventures, challenges and learning of the group.
