ICE LENSES, cut out of the river to perform a living light sculpture
ICE LENSES, cut out of the river to perform a living light sculpture, tinted with natural colors, movable by visitors, translucent, dancing overlapping color projections, meltable, can swim
– one lens stays floating in the river plain – is turnable,
….material: river-ice and acid red cabbage color. Associating changeability, refracted landscape, climate change, creative potential, morphing realities, windows opening up to another world…
Dimension: depends on the thickness of the river-ice (technical feasibility of cutting and conveying)
COLOR, REFRACTION, MELTING
Like a prism, light passes through, scattering according to the ice’s density and the dye’s properties, casting long tinted shadows on the icy ground The interplay of colors gives hope, allows change, admits that not everything is under control.
Colors will change, fade, melt, form new perceptions through the refractive structures and on the ice surface.
Even if there is not much left of the discs…in the end the remains carried away by the river.
