daring relationship between the installation and its surroundings,
thus inviting people to stop and appreciate the location from
another viewpoint.
The six meter diameter sphere is constructed using ventilation
ducts that create a visual dialogue between undulating lines
and empty spaces. The striking colour and spherical shape stand
out in the distance, whereas the metallic texture and modular
structure are revealed when approaching the piece. Furthermore,
each tube allows people to peek and discover another point of
view of the historical surroundings, again inviting us to stop and
consider new perspectives of a familiar site. The piece introduces
a dynamic with the urban context, an aspect that was explored in
a sound performance that highlighted Eclipse’s uncanny qualities
with material sounds.
During the day the installation reflects and spreads daylight over
the square, softening its effects as the evening approaches, but it
is at night that Eclipse fully lives up to its name when a spotlight
illuminates one of its sides and keeps the opposite in darkness.
Eclipse will be showcased at Largo Amor de Perdição until May
2017.
