The Child Side
The Child Side. México, D.F., 03/2012. Nowadays, the high-speed behavior of the social dynamics has driven children, whatever the social class they belong, to create a fantastic and secret universe where they find shelter from the multiple conflicts in which they are involved and where their nature, identity and thoughts are hidden
behind a character. From this point, The Child Side (El lado de los niños) explores that universe in a ludic way under a timeless atmosphere that melt spaces, fantastic characters and the little-huge human beings behind each one and abording the rude cotidianity of the children´s population from a positive, esthetic and reflexive perspective. This project is, comprehensively speaking, a visual statement that invites spectators to establish a sensitive dialogue that will lead us to know the faces and identities, talents and thoughts of the children’s that silently cohabits our metropolis. The visual support emerge from corners, basements, rooftops and natural spaces where each character belongs, that, without modifying them, will be intervened by light, to transform them into timeless spaces that offer the spectator an esthetic, comfortable and mysterious perspective of what happens there.
