Open Square

Luftwerk's interest in the relationship between color and light is the driving force behind the creation of Open Square. The installation takes the shape of a square - universal in its simplicity; a pure expression of a spatial idea, complete in itself; a shape that can be turned into triangles or rectangles - as the building block for its layout. Consisting of two interconnected square spaces, each painted in contrasting color patterns and illuminated with color changing light, shift the viewers spatial recognition, giving the illusion of revealing and dissolving spaces. Developed throughout the COVID-19 lockdown, the exhibition reflects on the habitat that defines our everyday experience.
