Lightbox - Jorge Hernandez Architect in Venice 2018 (Teaser)

Light is intangible until it touches an object, giving it an inherently spatial quality. Architect and professor Jorge L. Hernández experiments with light’s properties, both as material and metaphor. A new short film marks the occasion of Hernandez’s collaborative exhibition (with photographer Carlos Domenech) at the ECC’s Time Space Existence exhibition during the Venice Biennale 2018.
In the film, Hernández shows us how he brought light into the Williamsburg, Virginia courthouse. Hernández, who has worked extensively in heritage, also elaborates on the importance of material memory. Called to preserve Santiago de Cuba’s historic churches in the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy, he worked closely with students and the faculty from the University of Miami to create a dialogue between past and present.
