Diario de procesos VI: Máscara en mutación — el perro se transforma

En este sexto diario de procesos comparto la transformación de la máscara del perro.
Le abrí espacio de visibilidad, la vacié por dentro para aligerarla, y le incorporé un casco de cartón para que sea más cómoda de usar.
También le agregué una lengua y cambié la pintura, buscando otra expresividad.
Una intervención que combina gesto, comodidad y juego.

In this sixth process diary, I share the transformation of the dog mask.
I opened up visibility space, hollowed it out to make it lighter, and added a cardboard helmet for comfort.
I also attached a tongue and changed the paint, looking for a different kind of expression.
An intervention that combines gesture, comfort, and play.

Appearing like glimmering rings, Baily’s beads occur when the sun shines through the valleys and craters on the moon’s surface, allowing light to leak through the mass darkening event. Imperio documented the perfect half-rings from a spot in Odessa, Texas, piecing together about 30 images into a brilliant, repetitious composite that won him the 2024 Astronomy Photographer of the Year.

“What an innovative way to map the moon’s topography at the point of third contact during an annular solar eclipse,” said Kerry-Ann Lecky Hepburn, who judged the competition. “This is an impressive dissection of the fleeting few seconds during the visibility of the Baily’s beads”

Hosted annually by Royal Museums Greenwich, this year’s contest garnered more than 3,500 entries from photographers in 58 countries. […]
