I particularly enjoy these works by artist Pablo Valbuena. He is simply outlining the dimensions and attributes of the building that exist in the exact same format but in doing so he is giving an importance to these aspects. I am particularly drawn to the way that the artist has chosen to highlight these areas through the use of light as a medium; he is ultimately shedding light on these architectural elements that might otherwise be overlooked. His works focus on time, space, and perception. The installation is site specific, responding directly to the perceptual qualities, physical conditions and also the surrounding influences of a particular space.
The description of the work on the artist's website is as follows:
para- : at or to one side of, beside, next to, beyond (from gr. para)
-site : position, situation, location, state (from lat. situs)
