Inma Femenía, Eva Lootz
Inma Femenía – Cáceres Contemporánea 2025
Organized by the Junta de Extremadura, this new edition of Cáceres Contemporánea transforms the Barrio de Santiago in Cáceres into a luminous open-air gallery, with eight urban interventions by national and international artists exploring light, space, and perception. Among the various contributions, the participation of Eva Lootz and the work “Dar Luz” by Inma Femenía stand out.
“Dar Luz” 2025 | Variable dimensions | Solar tracker and mirror | This installation can only be seen in sunlight.
The project stems from an observation of the Santiago neighborhood in the old town of Cáceres, where the historic architecture—due to its scale, density, and layout—creates spaces that remain in shadow for much of the year. Based on this condition, this intervention is based on a simple but significant gesture: redirecting sunlight to one of these shady streets using a heliostat installed on the roof of a building on the same street. Reflecting the sun thus becomes a symbolic act: lending light where it does not reach, redirecting the sun towards a street that, during the months of the intervention, has ceased to be inscribed by the luminous trajectory of time. The intervention seeks to generate an experience that questions the relationship between sunlight and architecture, and how a slight deviation from the natural can modify the perception of the environment.
