Range in
Between
Range in Between is an installation that relates light, gender, and the body.
Light serves as an inspirational and initiating source for the visual proposal, playing with the philosophical and social concepts of non-binary gender expressed through the body. The body, the material through which we perceive diffraction, allows us to see the evolution and constant change in our society. Bodies increasingly shape gender and move away from the sexual diversities and codifications that still exist today. We are talking about a new non-binary space focused on gender, but one that can be situated in any societal space, generating movement, flexibility, and constant change.
This proposal aims to use light as the central axis, leveraging its physical qualities. By studying the history of light, scientific discoveries, and connecting with art, we observe how the life and beliefs of a society are also revealed through light. Associating this concept with the history of gender and gender differences experienced over time, particularly from the Middle Ages onward, we create an immersive installation. It invites you to feel, look, and immerse yourself in a sensory and thoughtful space, aiming to provoke reflections and, at the same time, self-questioning.
