The Breathing Lake by Dionis Escorsa at Loop Fair

 

RocioSantaCruz gallery presents Dionis Escorsa‘s work The Breathing Lake, in collaboration with Albert Merino, at Loop Fair.

A video mapping projection is displayed on a painting depicting the famous semi-submerged bell tower of the Sau reservoir, using real-time data provided by a weather website adjusted to the coordinates of the location so that the painting subtly changes its atmosphere throughout the day. This also provides a real-time (pictorial) measurement of the region water reserves, based on data from the Hydrographic Confederation.

La instalación ofrece también la posibilidad de contemplar los cambios atmosféricos de modo acelerado. Así, la oscilación del nivel del agua produce una impresión de latido o respiración del paisaje que realza el abandono metafísico de la ruina religiosa.

The breathing lake consists of four large video-mapped paintings showing the Sau reservoir from the four cardinal points, together producing an immersive sensation. One of them is presented at Loop Fair, while the other three can be seen simultaneously at the RocioSantaCruz gallery, as part of the The Cosmic Bell and the Breathing Lake.

The piece can be visited until November 20th, in room 103 of the Almanac Hotel (Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes 619–621, Barcelona).

The exhibition project brings together works by 33 photographers from different backgrounds and offers a new perspective on photographic modernism in Brazil, through a look at the Foto Cine Clube Bandeirante (FCCB), a collective founded in São Paulo in 1939 that has established itself as a key element in the history of Brazilian photography.a.

The RocioSantaCruz gallery has maintained a firm commitment to the recovery, conservation and dissemination of photographic legacies of great historical value. This work has been translated into a continuous work of research and enhancement of authors such as Palmira Puig, Marcel Giró and Germán Lorca, thanks to the collaboration in this case with the Marcel Giró and Palmira Puig Archive, preserved with dedication by Toni Ricart Giró, and the Germán Lorca Archive.

The inclusion of these three artists in the Arles: Les Rencontres de la Photographie 2025 festival reinforces the gallery’s commitment to this work and underscores the fundamental role of the photographers’ work and its international reach.
