About Cascading Canyon Instalasi Seni

Cascading Canyon adalah sebuah instalasi seni yang terinspirasi oleh Grand Canyon. Karya ini terbuat dari kertas dan sepenuhnya dilipat serta disambungkan dengan tangan. Lebih dari 40.000 unit origami modular jenis Sonobe membentuk permukaannya, yang disatukan melalui lipatan dan kantung bawaan pada setiap unit. Instalasi ini dirancang untuk ruang berukuran 8 x 4 x 8 kaki dan terdiri dari tiga bagian: sebuah latar belakang, sebuah bongkahan batu besar, dan sebuah bongkahan batu yang lebih kecil yang dapat digunakan sebagai tempat duduk. Pengunjung berjalan menyusuri tatanan ini dan mengamati bentuk, warna, cahaya, serta bayangan, sehingga menghadirkan kembali sensasi menjelajahi ngarai tersebut.

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: This art installation can be experienced when walking through it physically.
