FLAWLESS
Brightness of Nature
CONCEPT DESCRIPTION
Flawless is a site-specific light art installation based on capturing ephemerality of nature. As temperature change autumm turns into winter, and elm trees shed their leaves. Flawless artwork encourage to capture the leaves movement and its reflection, inviting to contemplate a natural enviroment connecting water and wind.
The intervetion recalls the passage of time through seasons by transforming the perception of the landscape around the canal. The natural process of photosynthesis is essential for life in every city. We interpreted this phenomenon with a magic chemistry concept called photoluminescence.
During the daytime, the pigments absorb energy from the sunlight, giving them a bright green glowing color at night. In this way the installation is self-sufficient and self-iluminated.
A sublime light reflection of flying leaves moves as a poetry in the park. It evokes a positive message of happiness, an innate longing for a more fundamental connection to the natural world.
VISITOR EXPERIENCE
Visitors are attracted by this light poetry in the middle of the Canal, reflecting upon our relation to nature. Through our fantasy we feel close to our irreplaceable memories, imaginations and identities. Flawless invites us to fantasize, to wander away for moment and enhace connection in time.
The contrast between the glowing structure and the dark environement shows how important light is for human being. It is the brightness of nature that makes a place where the spectator can surprise and fantasize to a new perception of the landscape.
FLAWLESS LIGHT INSTALLATION, HAS BEEN EXHIBITED IN EXPO DUBAI 2020, AMSTERDAM LIGHT FESTIVAL 2015 & CANARY WHARF LIGHT ART 2016.
TECHNICAL PRINCIPLE
Resisting the forces of nature such as wind and water, Flawless is a composition of more than 4000 glowing leaves. Each floating element of the larger installation is carefully hand constructed and certainly hanging by thin but firm steel thread, high in durability and elasticity. The threads are suspended in between grid structures (modules);
The 4 modules structure working together or
independently are creating a 3d shape installation reaching 10 x 5 x 2 meters. The structure can be adapted and modulated according to the exhibition space.
In addition, UV/ black lightning will help to give more distinction and accent to the artwork emphasizing a surrounded reflection.
