The watching machine was the name given to those objects from the 19th century that created illusions through mirrors and shutters. Small boxes that contained simple mechanisms but magical results.

In The Watching Machine piece “the machine” is the stage. In it, we play with light, shadows and reflections to experience what is illusion, what is representation and what is convention. A piece composed of small installations where light and shadows are fictionalized through optical illusions.
