TITLE: Otra Luz
We've always interpreted the world according to what our eyes allow us to see, and with the invention of photography that ability was amplified. Otra Luz is a project that seeks to explore the beauty hidden inside a vast variety of everyday objects through the Photogenic Drawing technique (Also known as photogram or rayograph). The ability to have multiple perspectives, to go deep into what may seem feeble and vulgar and find marvelous sights is what have kept this project going since 2014.
