About Hitobito Instalación de iluminación

Hitobito es una instalación de iluminación creada para un festival de linternas celebrado en la ciudad de Taipéi en 2023. Su estructura se inspira en el carácter chino que significa persona, formado por dos elementos que se sostienen mutuamente. Dos entradas estrechas conducen a los visitantes al interior, donde los recorridos se unen en un espacio de mayor amplitud. Un proyector situado en el centro proyecta una animación gráfica sobre el suelo. Una estructura de tubos de acero doblados manualmente se pinta de blanco y se reviste con varillas de bambú trenzadas de un centímetro de ancho. La instalación mide 9,8 metros de ancho, 7,8 metros de profundidad y 3,5 metros de altura.
