Exhibitions. Lightpools or El ball del fanalet. Lightpools is an installation by Perry Hoberman & Galeria Virtual, produced with the cooperation of the Audiovisual Institute at the Universitat Pompeu Fabra, Barcelona, and designed specially for the Espai 13.It is a virtual experience based on a digital system that generates in real time an environment formed by acoustic and visual elements projected on the ground in a circle, around which the participants perform. Each participant carries a paper lamp with a sensor in it, which sends information to a computer on the position and actions of the participants. The computer processes all this information. Each user has their own unique, restricted facilities for interacting with the environment and therefore has to collaborate with the other participants in order to obtain more information.
The lamp, therefore, serves both as light, space, subject and object of this virtual reality experience, and placed in this circle of light it can remind us of a ballroom. Riera i Aragó.

Mona Hatoum. Mona Hatoum (born 1952 in Beirut, Lebanon) is a video artist and installation artist of Palestinian origin, who lives in London. Mona Hatoum was born in Beirut, Lebanon to Palestinian parents in 1952. Although born in Lebanon, Hatoum does not identify as Lebanese. “Although I was born in Lebanon, my family is Palestinian. And like the majority of Palestinians who became exiles in Lebanon after 1948, they were never able to obtain Lebanese identity cards.”[1] Family[edit] As she grew up, her family did not support her desire to pursue art. Early career[edit] In an attempt to settle with her mother, Hatoum attended the Beirut University College in Lebanon to study graphic design. Exile and Education[edit] During a visit to London in 1975, civil war broke out in Lebanon and Hatoum was forced into exile.
Artworks[edit] Mona Hatoum explores a variety of different subject matter via different theoretical frameworks. Early Work[edit] Later Work[edit] Influences[edit] Exile[edit] The Body[edit] Mona Hatoum Artists | White Cube. Mona Hatoum’s poetic and political oeuvre is realised in a diverse and often unconventional range of media, including installations, sculpture, video, photography and works on paper. Hatoum started her career making visceral video and performance work in the 1980s that focused with great intensity on the body. Since the beginning of the 1990s, her work moved increasingly towards large-scale installations that aim to engage the viewer in conflicting emotions of desire and revulsion, fear and fascination. In her singular sculptures, Hatoum has transformed familiar, every-day, domestic objects such as chairs, cots and kitchen utensils into things foreign, threatening and dangerous. Even the human body is rendered strange in works such as 'Corps étranger' (1994) or ‘Deep Throat’ (1996), installations that use endoscopic journeys through the interior landscape of the artist’s own body.
