Skills

  • Video Mapping

El cuerpo es un archivo is a 360º video montage with multichannel sound inspired in the Mexican Movement of 1968. It is part of the permanent exhibition at Centro Cultural Universitario Tlatelolco in Mexico City. During the performance dancers interact with historical photographs. In response, a dance unfolds leaving the viewer immersed and inviting the audience to engage with the archive (of Tlatelolco Massacre).

The project was directed by Pablo Martínez Zárate and involved an indisciplinary team. My job here was setting multichannel audio and mapping a 360º video over a cylindrical screen using 6 short throw projectors. Below you can see the process of wrapping the image to the curved surface with the MadMapper software.
