FRAMES
Making a movie requires a light source, in order to
record a scene on the film frames. The reproduction of a movie requires a light
source in order to project the recorded scene from the film frames to the white
screen.
The conceptual approach for the new face of the
pushkinsky cinema is the collection of frames on the main facade of the
building in a way that will create an interaction game of light and shadow.
Furthermore, walking through those frames will mark the entrance into the 7th
art world of cinema.
The frame installation is a 3-dimensional vertical
surface with a repetitive pattern of DuPont Corian panels sized 4.00 m. x 2.60 m. x 0.50 m. each. The
installation Is defined by a large span surrounding DuPont Corian construction,
with a total height of 23
meters.
The frame installation is fronted by an expanded
plaza. As a whole they make up a moving graphic field, which develops
vertically and horizontally, in the following ways:
- a backlight
system, that is placed behind the corian panels on the building’s facade and is
controlled by computer, providing a continually changing image of the building
- the
projection of movie trailers on the facade frames and screens towards the plaza
- extended
cubes made of DuPont Corian are placed on rails in order to be moved at will
and fulfill the functions of bench, light source and observation point
