Discover the contemporary work of Gaspare Di Caro

Luminography is a process of which allows long-lasting architectural lighting, without light pollution and low consumption.  The images have been previously calculated and drawn in perspective using a Camera Obscura developed in the 15th century by Giambattista Della Porta. The Camera Obscura was created used by the great masters of painting such as Leonardo da Vinci, Caravaggio and il Canaletto. Gaspare Di Caro directed the spotlighting of Christ the Redeemer in Rio de Janeiro, and the Havana Cathedral, in Madrid. on the occasion of the visit of Pope Benedict XVI. On December 22, 2009, the Franco-Italian Locative-Art artist Gaspare Di Caro, thanks to its image projection technique recorded with GPS, gives a face to the statue of Christ the Redeemer. Wanting to define his architectural light performances in a single word, technically and artistically, Gaspare Di Caro uses the neologism of luminography understood in the contraction of the words light and graphic. The measurements of distance, perspective angle, vanishing lines as well as axes and parallaxes are inspired by the calculations of Filippo Brunelleschi. Although having ancient roots, this technique is looking towards the future. Luminography is a new way of thinking about urban lighting.
Gaspare Di Caro's Mises en lumieres are considered masterpieces,
such as those of Christ, Redeemer of Rio de Janeiro, in which the artist gave, for the first time, a face to the statue.

Gaspare Di Caro was named "El Pintor de la Luz" in Spain.
