About House of Dream Offentlig Kunst

House of Dream er en offentlig kunstskulptur opstillet i Shenzhen, Kina. Skulpturen er lavet af rustfrit stål, LED-belysning og PC-plade med envejsspejl, og den måler 320 centimeter i bredden, 120 centimeter i dybden og 400 centimeter i højden. Om dagen spejler den reflekterende overflade de omgivende omgivelser. Om natten former skiftende lys et indadvendt rum. Besøgende interagerer med værket og ændrer lyseffekterne. Skulpturen reagerer på det ensartede udseende, mange nye boligbygninger har, og fremkalder minder om hjemmet.

In terms of this sculpture, it would like to animate the space and remind people of their memories of home using lighting. From the visual sense to the spiritual exploration, people can feel the warmth from the old houses and create a poetic dwelling.
The works interact with people and change the lighting effects.
