The volunteers sat face to face and remained alone in the room while they listened to a sound piece synchronized with a play of lights, which varied its intensity and color, according to the sound that it´s heard in the room. The sound piece was composed by several different environments - traffic, then thunder, a crowd, fragments of cinema films, gunshots, classical music, machine noise, works... and finally silence. With the sound piece and the play of lights in the background, the two participants tried to start a conversation based on the environment created, and the reactions to what they thought they were hearing. At the end of the sound piece, there is silence and the light stabilizes. In that moment the two people finally begin to relate more closely.
I have repeated this experience with several other people that I invited throughout the week before the opening of the exhibition, and filmed the events. At the opening, you could visit the room with two empty chairs facing each other, and on the walls you could see the projected videos from the experiences made with the people who collaborated in the simulacrum.
