The festival “Hecho en Casa Entel” presented last night the last of its five urban interventions of the 2016 edition, called “Epicentro Luminoso 1.26”. The work is inspired by the 8.8 earthquake that in 2010 hit the central-south zone of Chile and will be located on the esplanade of the Museum of Fine Arts.
The intervention, which consists of an illuminated canvas made with 70x30 meter fishing nets, has been presented with great success in London, Singapore, Boston, Madrid and Prague, among others with its striking play of lights. Its name refers to the 1.26” microseconds that the day was shortened due to the earthquake.
“We are very happy for the development of the fourth urban intervention festival “Hecho en Casa Entel”. For this version, we wanted to intervene public spaces such as esplanades and places where the inhabitants meet and connect with the environment. This festival is an invitation to walk around and see the city in a different way, all with the target of delivering art and culture free of charge to everyone”, said Payo, artistic director of the festival.
Meanwhile, Entel’s CEO, Antonio Büchi, valued this type of initiative and invited the people of the capital to join in and enjoy this artistic display that will light up the city. “This Festival is a gift from Entel to the community so that everyone can connect with art and culture in the city. We hope the public enjoys with this free festival and these works installed in Santiago.”
“Hecho en Casa Entel” seeks to encourage cultural tourism by highlighting landmarks and destinations in the Metropolitan Region through art.
