About Hitobito Kunstinstallatioun

Hitobito ass eng Kunstinstallatioun, déi 2023 fir d'Luucht-Festival a Taipei City geschaf gouf. D'Struktur schöpft hir Inspiratioun aus dem chinesesche Schrëftzeechen fir eng Persoun, dat aus zwee Elementer besteet, déi sech géigesäiteg ënnerstëtzen. Zwee kleng Agäng verschmëlzen zu engem méi groussen Raum, an deem e Projektor am Zentrum Bewegungsgrafiken op de Buedem projizéiert. De manuell gebogene Stolröhregestell ass mat ee Zentimeter breede Bambusstäbercher verkleet, wat traditionellt asiatescht Fleegen mat enger industrieller Struktur verbënnt. D'Installatioun mëcht 9,8 Meter breet, 7,8 Meter déif an 3,5 Meter héich.
