Mamoré current

Amazon Light

Action and Light Installation
This work was carried out during Abubuya, Km0 a project of the Kiosko Gallery, in the Mamoré River, Beni.
Year: 2014

Mamoré Stream is the action and light installation arranged in a small drifting boat, where the light was generated by the Mamoré River current, in the Bolivian Amazon. For this, two discarded fans were re-used, modifying their operation to generate enough light to illuminate the small boat. After numerous tests, the light generated by the river contrasted with its own darkness.
