The hands, reminiscent of a captive giant, delicately enter and exit through windows and doors, gently caressing the surface as if to grasp the exterior surrounding them with their fingertips. A tactile exploration of the urban surface. “Behind the Walls” proposes an encounter with a nocturnal urban fresco that creatively and poetically reimagines a piece of architecture, a façade, or a section of wall that would normally not arouse curiosity. A contemplative videomapping disarming in its simplicity yet deliberately disturbing our gaze, making a familiar landscape strangely unknown. This installation invites the viewer to experience a change in perspective, transforming the night into a canvas where hands become the brushes of a Gulliver seeking a tactile connection with the sleeping city. A sensory mapping that transcends the ordinary to reveal the hidden beauty behind each urban wall.
