The project was realized at \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"202\"\u003eLas Pozas\u003c\/b\u003e, the world-renowned surrealist sculpture garden created by British poet and patron \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"295\"\u003eEdward James\u003c\/b\u003e in the rainforest of \u003cb data-path-to-node=\"1\" data-index-in-node=\"329\"\u003eXilitla, Mexico\u003c\/b\u003e.

By utilizing the jungle-shrouded, \"ruin-like\" monuments as a canvas, Senstad creates a dialogue between the historical surrealist architecture and contemporary phenomenology.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3\"\u003eThe work employs fluid chromatic shifts and high-saturation light to \"paint\" the sculptures, momentarily transforming the solid, gray concrete into a luminous, vibrating environment. This technique de-materializes the physical structures, merging the organic shapes of the jungle, the man-made dreamscapes of James, and Senstad’s own exploration of the sensory impact of pure color.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eContext \u0026amp; Significance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"4\"\u003eSet within one of the most significant surrealist sites in the world, this project illustrates Senstad's ability to engage with historically charged and complex architectural environments. The intervention highlights the ephemeral nature of light versus the permanence of stone, inviting viewers to experience the garden not just as a physical place, but as a space of pure perception. It stands as a profound example of how contemporary light art can breathe new life into historical sites, bridging the gap between past artistic movements and current sensory technologies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eBring Art to Your Space\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"6\"\u003eThis project illustrates the ability of our artists to produce monumental, custom works for public, corporate, or private environments.
