Your Eyes Are Spectral Machines: The Spectral Mountain

Artist Talk & 16mm Film Screening with Luis Macias Join us at Sattya for an artist talk and 16mm film screening with Spanish artist and filmmaker Luis Macias, presenting The Spectral Mountain , an ongoing project developed across India and Nepal, including his recent stay at the Manang Artistic Residency. Over two weeks in Manang, Luis explored the mountains through analogue image-making, filming and photographing using 35mm and 16mm formats. Drawing from his interest in local cosmogony, nature, and the spectral qualities of the landscape, he will share insights into his artistic process and his exploration of the relationship between image, perception, and the natural world. The talk will be followed by Your Eyes Are Spectral Machines , a 16mm film screening featuring five works from Luis's practice. Working with the photochemical possibilities of analogue film, he experiments with image manipulation, optical printing, editing, and projection to explore the material and perceptual qualities of moving images. The evening will conclude with an open conversation and Q&A with the artist.
