Azotara is an experimental video about space, light and body in movement. My intention was to explore the possibility of the art of light and dance. In Azotara we try to make visible what is normally invisible, the voluminosity of light and space. Light, which ordinarily remains on the fringe of consciousness as a vague concept, has a physical presence; and by perceiving Light itself in an empty, abandoned space, rather than a representation of light, we are able to conceptualize more concretely what before may have been loose and abstract. In this environment, light gains a more palpable presence and it becomes the sensory material.
