About Cascading Canyon アートインスタレーション
《カスケーディング・キャニオン》は、グランドキャニオンから着想を得たアートインスタレーションである。素材はすべて紙で、折りも接合もすべて手作業によるものだ。表面はソノベ型のユニット折り紙4万個以上で構成され、各ユニットに備わる差し込み片とポケットによって連結されている。本作は8フィート×4フィート×8フィートの空間を想定して設計され、背景となる壁面、大きな岩、そして腰掛けとして使える小さな岩の三つの要素から成る。鑑賞者はこの空間を歩きながら、形、色、光、そして影を観察し、峡谷を進んでいくような感覚を追体験する。

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