Pixel Sunset constructs an artificial horizon from approximately 2,900 ceramic cubes fixed to a corrugated-cardboard support and illuminated from behind by a fluorescent tube. From a distance, the cubes cohere
into a red field; at close range, the image resolves into individual modules, exposed white edges and small variations in height. The fluorescent tube remains visible, acting simultaneously as a light source and a
horizon line. A looped sound composition adds a temporal layer to the static construction.
By translating the pixel – a uniform and immaterial digital unit- into ceramic, the work replaces digital precision with weight, variation and repetition. Its small scale holds together two incompatible readings: a fragile
model and the suggestion of an expansive landscape. Because the apparatus remains exposed, the illusion is never complete.
