Nos da mucho orgullo compartir que Procesos y Estados, obra de Anna Saveleva @anna_s.a.v realizada sobre un panel solar de @secondlifeofsolar, ha sido seleccionada por @astahousemx para formar parte de su subasta inaugural Economías del Deseo, curada por @thecuratedhammer.

La pieza explora la delgada línea entre pasado y futuro, destrucción y creación. Un panel golpeado y aparentemente inservible se transforma en soporte para formas orgánicas y vibrantes que parecen crecer, mutar y adquirir una nueva vida.

“Nada es eterno, excepto el cambio mismo.”

Para @secondlifeofsolar es un enorme gusto colaborar con @astahousemx y seguir construyendo comunidad entre artistas, coleccionistas, curadores y nuevos públicos, demostrando que la circularidad también puede generar cultura, conversación y valor.

📌 Aparten la fecha

🕖 19:00 h
📍 Gobernador Agustín Vicente Eguía 8, San Miguel Chapultepec, Ciudad de México

Nos vemos en Economías del Deseo.

Segunda Luz

Obra realizada sobre panel solar reutilizado
Toska

Con Segunda Luz quise ofrecer un renacimiento a un objeto que parecía haber llegado al final de su camino. Este panel solar, antes orientado hacia el cielo, guardaba en su interior la memoria del sol. Yo solo busqué revelarla.

En el centro, una forma irradia como un fragmento persistente, casi como un vestigio que se niega a desaparecer — una huella mínima capaz de contener una fuerza inmensa. A su alrededor, las líneas se despliegan y se entrelazan como corrientes invisibles que vuelven a respirar.

Para mí, esta obra habla de lo que sobrevive, incluso cuando todo parece terminado. A veces basta un fragmento, una marca, una señal, para que algo vuelva a existir de otra manera. Nada desaparece por completo: la energía cambia de forma, se transforma en color, en ritmo, en constelación íntima.

Segunda Luz es una metamorfosis.
Una forma de volver a ver la luz, incluso desde el vestigio. taken in Mexico City by @secondlifeofsolar

When the magic of cinema meets the power of the sun! ☀️🎞️
Introducing “Arcoíris” 🌈 — an incredible art intervention by Andres Garcia @kinoandres and his team at @enac.unam , created last week during Impulso Naranja week @secondlifeofsolar . They took a standard Trina Solar @trinasolarglobal panel and completely reimagined it using vividly tinted 16mm cinema film!
By weaving the colorful 16mm film across the solar cells (you can see the amazing textures and colors in image.png and image_2.png), the team created a brilliant visual dialogue about light—how we capture it to tell stories on screen, and how we harness it for renewable energy. ⚡️🎬
The best part? This stunning piece is there to stay at ENAC! Next time you are on campus, make sure to stop by and see how art, film, and sustainability collide @innovaunam_social

Where the beautiful game meets beautiful art. ⚽️🎨 Throwing it back to the electric energy of our World Cup watch parties!
At Casas Murales, we believe in bringing people together to share special moments. Whether you’re here to get lost in a new art exhibition or to scream your lungs out for a last-minute goal, this is your home base.
Here is a look back at what made those match days so unforgettable:
The Atmosphere: Guests cheered for their teams while surrounded by stunning, massive murals and intervened solar panels @secondlifeofsolar . The space also offered a relaxing vibe with beautiful garden views through large glass windows.
The Drinks: We served up fresh, ice-cold passion fruit cocktails to keep the spirits high. Our beautifully lit bar was fully stocked and prepped with Cachaça, fresh fruits, and plenty of limes.
The Food: We kept the crowd fueled with delicious, themed snacks, including fresh baskets of Pão de Queijo by @erthal.co
The Setup: Everyone got the best seat in the house with cozy armchairs facing a massive TV screen. The room was filled with colorful flags, great music, and amazing company sharing the same passion.
Here’s to many more days filled with great art, refreshing drinks, and the beautiful game! 🍻

When your styles merge just as perfectly as your lives do. 💛🎨
We are loving this setup at @casasmurales featuring upcycled masterpieces by @olivergraham.art 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 and @skiidbladnir 🇺🇸 from @secondlifeofsolar
This talented couple brings such a unique, unified energy to the room. Ollie’s vibrant, energetic “Dancers 2” plays beautifully off the dreamy, intricate lines of Daisy’s “Transmutación 2”. Seeing their individual styles merge across these repurposed solar panels is ridiculously cool! ⚡️
Catch their exhibition at Casas Murales while you can!

ALTAÏR: A Celestial Second Life✨

When monumental design meets sustainable innovation.
Presenting ALTAÏR (2026), a breathtaking centerpiece by the visionary artist @luce.gaudin , hailing from St Etienne, France. This piece isn’t just a stunning architectural focal point; it’s a powerful statement on the intersection of luxury, art, and the environment.
Through a masterful interplay of geometry, cosmology, and traditional patterns, Luce has transformed a decommissioned solar panel into a timeless artifact. The precise, captivating linework and textures were achieved using a mixed-media blend of:
* Aérosol
* Acrylic
* Ceramic
Beyond her incredible talent in the studio, Luce Gaudin is a leading voice in sustainable transformation. She goes beyond the canvas, proudly serving as a sponsor and ambassador for the Second Life of Solar movement. With ALTAÏR, she proves that renewable technology can transcend its original utility to become profound, museum-quality art. 🌍☀️
Now showing at @casamancera1750
