About Hitobito Beliichtungsinstallatioun

Hitobito ass eng Beliichtungsinstallatioun, déi fir e Luuchtefestival 2023 zu Taipei City geschaf gouf. D'Struktur ass vum chinesesche Schriftzeeche fir "Persoun" inspiréiert, geformt aus zwee Elementer, déi sech géigesäiteg ënnerstëtzen. Zwee schmuel Agäng féieren d'Besucher eran, wou d'Weeër sech an engem méi groussen Raum vereenegen. E Projektor am Zentrum wirft eng Bewegungsgrafik op de Buedem. E manuell gebéigenen Stolröhregestell ass wäiss gestrach a mat geflochtene Bambusstäbercher vun engem Zentimeter Breet verkleed. D'Installatioun mëscht 9,8 Meter breet, 7,8 Meter déif an 3,5 Meter héich.
