About Cascading Canyon Umjetnička instalacija

Cascading Canyon je umjetnička instalacija inspirisana Velikim kanjonom. Djelo je izrađeno od papira i u potpunosti je ručno presavijeno i ručno spojeno. Više od 40.000 modularnih origami jedinica tipa Sonobe formira površine, spojene ugrađenim preklopima i džepovima. Instalacija je dizajnirana za prostor dimenzija 8 x 4 x 8 stopa i sastoji se od tri dijela: pozadine, velike stijene i manje stijene koja se može koristiti kao sjedište. Posjetioci prolaze kroz postavku i posmatraju formu, boju, svjetlost i sjenu, čime se ponovo stvara osjećaj kretanja kroz kanjon.

Unique Properties
Walking through the Grand Canyon unveils a spectacle of textures, expansive vistas, and the mesmerizing dance of light on the Origami Sonobe walls. It's an immersive artistic installation where one can intimately engage with nature's breathtaking wonders, feeling them come alive at their fingertips. The interplay of light within the canyon's layers amplifies the experience, making it even more enriching.

Production Technology
The artwork is primarily made of paper, completely hand-folded and hand-attached. There are more than 40,000 origami modules which were folded for this installation. These modules are attached to each other because of its inbuildt quality of flaps and pockets which all connect to each other to make it into any form or structure that one desires. This type of origami is called Modular Origami and the name of this module is "Sonobe".
Design Challenge
The hardest part of this art installation was to transport it from one place to another. But with a little bit of brainstorming, we were able to figure out the logistics for packing and sending it to Delhi from Jaipur.
Research
For thr research of this installation, I took help from varios picures of the Canyon on the internet to get inspired by the forms, colours and light and shadow. I also read about the Canyon, about its history and how it was created.
Inspiration
The Grand Canyon inspires this art installation where in the idea was to recreate the feeling of walking through the canyon by bringing in the elements like the form, the colour as well as the light and shadow.
I've never visited the Grand Canyon myself, but I've always been captivated not only by how stunning it might appear surrounded by those majestic, almost divine rocks, but rather by the potential emotions it could evoke in me.
Project Duration
This Artwork was specially designed for India Design 2024, held in New Delhi, India. The dates for the exhibition were 15th to 18th of Feb. The work on this Installation started in November 2023.
Operation Flow
