Asalto Durham

Video Photo Info
Utilizing methods of public intervention and video installation, Daniel Canogar's Asalto is a projection that symbolically releases our fantasies of overcoming imposed obstacles in our lives. Engaging individuals as spectators and participants, a staged interaction takes place between a “stormed” site and collected imagery of a virtual public.

In the work’s process of production, participants based in Durham, UK, were invited to crawl across a horizontal green screen, as if they were climbing up a wall. This filmed action was then projected onto Durham's historic viaduct. 

                Medium: Public video installation. 
                Dimensions: variable
                Location: Lumiere Festival, 11th-15th Nov, 2015. Durham, UK.
