A window that accumulates
A window is transparent by day and reflective by night. It shows the outside when light favours it, and mirrors the inside when it does not. It is never fully one or the other.
In Intrusiones, a screen replaces that window. On it, a landscape unfolds in accelerated transition: day turning into night, weather shifting, time compressing. External sounds do not enter directly. Each intrusion from outside is translated into a written note that appears on the surface. These textual traces accumulate gradually, covering the image.
Cuenca’s landscape
Reading sound
As notes multiply, the view outward disappears. But so does the reflection inward. The accumulation destroys both directions simultaneously, leaving neither window nor mirror. What remains is only the record of intrusion. A surface that can no longer be what it was.
There is no audio. Each written note describes what would have been heard: a passing car, a voice, rain against glass. The viewer reads the sounds rather than hearing them, reconstructing them mentally. Silence makes the intrusions more present, not less.
Sound as handwriting
Isolation is not possible
As notes multiply, the outside disappears behind the record of its disturbances. The landscape is lost. What remains is the evidence of everything that could not be kept out.
Intrusiones proposes that any space we consider private or controlled is continuously penetrated by external forces. The environment is not a background. It is an active system that cannot be fully domesticated. Identity, whether personal or architectural, is shaped less by stability than by constant interference.
