About Hitobito Belysningsinstallation

Hitobito är en ljusinstallation skapad för en lyktfestival som hölls i Taipei City 2023. Strukturen är inspirerad av det kinesiska tecknet för person, format av två delar som stödjer varandra. Två smala ingångar leder besökare in, där gångarna slås samman till ett större utrymme. En projektor i mitten kastar en rörlig grafik på golvet. En manuellt böjd stålrörsram är målad vit och klädd med vävda bambupinnar med en bredd på en centimeter. Installationen mäter 9,8 meter i bredd, 7,8 meter i djup och 3,5 meter i höjd.
