About Hitobito Instalação de Iluminação

Hitobito é uma instalação de iluminação criada para um festival de lanternas realizado na cidade de Taipei em 2023. A estrutura inspira-se no carácter chinês que significa pessoa, formado por dois elementos que se apoiam mutuamente. Duas entradas estreitas conduzem os visitantes para o interior, onde os percursos se fundem num espaço maior. Um projetor no centro lança uma animação gráfica sobre o pavimento. Uma estrutura de tubos de aço curvados manualmente é pintada de branco e revestida com varetas de bambu entrelaçadas de um centímetro de largura. A instalação mede 9,8 metros de largura, 7,8 metros de profundidade e 3,5 metros de altura.
