Balcón /cianómetro Proa (Balcony / cyanometerProa), 2014
In the terrace area, the artist Guillermo E. Rodríguez works on an atmospheric experience that will bind together the viewer with the visible sky performance.The site-specific installation Balcony / cyanometer (Proa) consists in converting Proa´s balcony wall in a cyanometer of monumental scale. The cyanometer is an instrument for measuring the blue tone of the sky, whose invention is attributed to Horace-Benedict de Saussure.
This artwork, sensitive to the sky tone changes, rehearses a response to the Cyanometer (2013) by Bolivian artist Andres Pereira-Paz. Thecyanometer, designed specifically for this scenario proposal, invites the viewer to take part of the reality of light and to be sensitive to hisenvironment, being them as active viewers the ones who give the final meaning to the artwork.
