Captured in Pinheiro Grande, Chamusca, Portugal, this photograph reveals a lamp and its shadow cast across a white façade. The image pairs the solid object with its immaterial double, evoking the classic aesthetic of Laurel and Hardy. Here, meaning springs not from dialogue, but from a geometry of contrast: weight against lightness, the vertical against the horizontal. In this "physics of error", light acts as a transformative agent, stretching reality into an altered counterpart. Humour and tension emerge subtly from the coexistence of reality and projection, where visual imbalance and the duplication of forms create the only possible harmony.
