Ephemeral Structures design competition |
| Ruins of the Future |
| Gosh this was a good scheme. A subversion of Adelaide's metronomic cartesian geometry creates four repeating cubes constructed from 20 identical three-metre square steel frames. Berlin artist and collaborator, Francziska Bark and I were sure we would win this one. |
| Three of the surfaces of each cube are 'wrapped' like a canvas in translucent woven fabric. They are un-enterable, facing north, hanging slightly out over the River Torrens, oriented on one pont across the other side. The suns path traces its presence as it distorts across the three screens. From behind, the translucent, woven wrapped surfaces glow like lanterns, the graphic interference of the folds, through frame explored. |
| At festival end, the boxes are unfolded, the planes unwrapped, the materials recycled. Either that or they will just get chucked in a bin! |
