An installation though doesn’t necessarily involve
building new volumes or making a large scale construction. It can also include
the notion of modifying a point of view, which will have an impact on the way
we perceive a given area; a simple gesture which does not modify the landscape
itself but rather the way we see it. This is exactly the approach taken by
Impression of the Infinite: that of organising an event-volume, an installation
though which dreams and fantasies can emerge.
Starting from this premise, the intervention adopts
the symbol of the butterfly effect, relaying the idea that even the smallest
element can have a phenomenal impact on its environment. A symbol conveyed th
rough the project’s double character, that of catalyst and multiplier.
Impression of the infinite approaches the concept of
abstraction, purity and the immaterial, transparence and reflection, rigidity
and fluidity … The installation takes on the appearence of a cloud particles, a
sort of mist floating just above the floor. It seems to undulate within its
space tracing tracinng the contours of an artificial cloud. Positioned like
morning dew on artificial blades of grass, each drop’s mirrored surface return
a deformed image of its environment. By representing the environment in this
way, each event is multiplied by its reflected images, a 360° mirror which also
reflects the images reflected by the other globes, generating infinte
reflections in a series of multiple, yet concomitant worlds.
At twilight, the mirrors dim and small phosphorescent
balls light up in quick succession, getting gradually brighter as the
atmosphere becomes progressively darker. The cloud of reflections transforms
into a cloud of fireflies.
The silver dust is transformed into a star dust.
