Minima Lumina

The device developed for the project stems from a series of reflections on the current socio-political context in Colombia. The country is marked by instability, environmental degradation, and the violent dispossession of land. In this context, a new generation has risen, resistant and committed to a just future. Minima Lumina is a long-term project that reflects on this critical moment in his country's history, standing with this generation in their fight against corruption and fascist politics.
The artwork is a sound device disguised as a pair of glasses, a prosthesis for vision in a country where seeing is no longer enough. After decades of violence and image saturation, sight is exhausted. This device uses sound to reawaken memory: voices of protest, cries of grief, and sounds of state repression recorded during the 2021 national strike. The glasses, though transparent, block sound, becoming a metaphor for manipulated media that distorts or silences truth. To hear, the viewer must come closer, becoming an active witness. The device uses fragmented, urgent sounds to break through silence and keep memory alive as a form of resistance. Like a shield, it deflects violence's paralysis and invites us to face truth with hope and renewed awareness.

Giovanni Paolo Randazzo Mora is a Colombian visual and multimedia artist. He studied Fine Arts at the University of Los Andes, Multimedia Art at the Brera Academy in Milan, and holds a Master's in Contemporary Art and New Media from Paris VIII. Since 2016, he has taught Audiovisual Installation at the University of Los Andes, where he also leads the research collective Imágenes de segunda mano.

His work explores the perception of time, the impact of technology on daily life, and the fragility of humanity's future in the face of environmental exploitation. He also questions the role of power in producing violence and forced displacement. His practice has grown from painting, sculpture, and photography into a multidisciplinary exploration of art, science, and technology. His work takes multiple forms, including videos, installations, photographic series, and pictorial compositions. His actual research focuses on topics such are the construction of new audiovisual narratives, the dialectic between analogue and digital images, the integration of new technologies in art, and the appropriation of cinematographic language and film footage in contemporary art. These investigations have earned him exhibitions both nationally and internationally, in museums, galleries, art institutions, and independent spaces.
