The lamp plays with the surprising effect of putting a light focus in an element related to the darkness, changing the logic of the atmosphere.

Pescando lámparas:

My house which was built over 100 years ago has a beautiful balcon. It has a view towards ‘La Sagrada Familia’ and there I spend lots of time deep in imagination.

Using Korean traditional paper, I made a fish like a white moon. With a long fishing rod I try to fish the moon on my balcon.

The fish swims through the city’s road.

Immediately, I drop a line on the air.

I have hooked a fish brighter than the moon.
