Curvature.

String, light and perspective.5 METRES / HEIGHT

THE WORK

Curvature is a spatial installation made from suspended strings and light. Repeated curves trace an organic, topographic form, creating a three-dimensional image that changes as you move around it.

Five metres high, with an almost holographic presence. First installed for Jotun at Beykoz Kundura, Istanbul.

The first installation.

Curvature was first installed for Jotun at Beykoz Kundura, with orange curves suspended within the former shoe factory.

At Unforbidden Festival, Curvature became part of Magic Forest, alongside Intersection and Space.

3D STUDIES / ON SITE

From line to space.

The curves are developed in 3D, then positioned and assembled around the existing trees.
