Named after the technique used in baroque era to extended architecture through tromp l’oeil and perspective constructions generated with paint or sculpture, ‘Quadratura’ is the creation of Madrid born and based artist Pablo Valbuena. This site-specific installation presented at Matadero Madrid follows the same illusory principles where the space is manipulated by means of projected light. The main axis of the room of Abierto x Obras is extended and the limits of the physical space dissolved.

You can see a video of this installation right here.

Seriously cool-town, no? Yet another reason why I am excited beyond words to be visiting Spain this year. Finally.
