About Raised History Munus Primarium: Instrumentum Lucis Festivalis

Textus Libri: Historia Elata est instrumentum lucis festivalis pro eventu Natalicio creatum. Structura ex clathris ligneis aedificata est, quae compagem internam suam ostendit et formam arboris efficit. Colores lucis mutantes in tabulis pictis ad imum cuiusque strati positis proiciuntur. Colores ex temporibus historicis urbis desumpti sunt, et forma curvata carinam navis velificatoriae ab origine portus commemorat. Prope canalem antiquum situm, instrumentum punctum visuale centrale efficit et affectum festivum areae portus affert.

Design Challenge: The most difficult part was the structure of each wooden lattice. The structure had two curves, one for horizontal skirt under each layer and the other for vertical facade, and much more calculation was necessary than ordinary curved shape by lattice.
Inspiration: We leverage historical elements of the city, planning colors that represent each era and transforming them into projected light hues. Employing the sailboat keel structure from the port's establishment 400 years ago, we create a rhythm with undulating curves, giving the entire tree an elegant and dynamic appearance.
Project Duration: The project started in November 2023 in Tainan City, Taiwan and finished in December 2023. The installation was built for Christmas event which was held for 1 month.
