„CityScope - urban Kaleidoscope"

 

„CityScope - urban Kaleidoskope" - the installation CITYSCOPE amplifies the fragmented perception of urban spaces. The bevelling structure operates like an urban kaleidoscope that reflects the fragmented images of the surrounding facades and composes a three-dimensional densification of the urban contect. The radiant foil, which is applied onto the outer skin of the sculpture, reflects dependent on the light ambiance and position of the beholder the scenery in different colours. While moving along the sculpture the reflected images on the triangulated envelope constantly change. By night, when the instalation is lit from inside, the reflection of the specular envelope changes into complementary colours.
