Titulus - Latin "inscription" or "label".

TITULUS, a site-specific installation created in the city of Cadiz at the Linea De Costa residency, incorporates different recording techniques which capture the elusive, ever-changing form of water; Plaster tiles cast from the watermarks on the shore offer a frozen, solid appearance of the waters' movement, while the video projection presents a fluid time-based view of the water surface. The projected moving image on the three-dimensional surface resulted in a strong visual illusion that made the installation appear as a living body of water in the middle of the gallery space.
