About Hitobito Installation artistique
Hitobito est une installation artistique conçue pour le festival des lanternes qui s'est tenu à Taipei en 2023. La structure s'inspire du caractère chinois désignant la personne, formé de deux éléments qui se soutiennent mutuellement. Deux petites entrées se rejoignent en un espace unique plus vaste, où un projecteur placé au centre diffuse des images animées sur le sol. L'ossature en tubes d'acier cintrés à la main est habillée de chevilles de bambou d'un centimètre de largeur, alliant le tressage traditionnel asiatique à une structure industrielle. L'installation mesure 9,8 mètres de largeur, 7,8 mètres de profondeur et 3,5 mètres de hauteur.
