Insolación 2009

Francis Naranjo made this immersive environment using light, shadow, and geometry. The interplay between these elements creates a dynamic experience, almost like stepping into a painting where the brushstrokes are beams of light. What strikes me is the physicality of this work. It’s not just something to look at; it’s something to be in, to walk through, to feel the light washing over you. The way the light is dispersed throughout the piece reminds me of Lucio Fontana’s slashed canvases, where the cut is not just a destructive act, but a way of opening up the surface to reveal the space beyond. Naranjo’s Insolación is an invitation to question our perceptions, to embrace the unknown, and to see the world in new and unexpected ways. Just like a conversation, it's all about the exchange of ideas, the push and pull, and the endless possibilities that arise when we open ourselves up to new perspectives.
