"Speed of life"
Organic foam made by original air pump machine and special soap. The soap foam, as an organic compound, will be sealed and poured over transparent acrylic sheet. Conceptually, this wall symbolizes every human’s daily activity. Humankind is constantly creating new objects, materials, softwares, systems, and everything else. But when you see it in a historical point of view in the long term, human creations are just like these tiny bubble foam which will disappear just like life, yet like population of earth this installation will increase volume of foams while the exhibition. I found beauty in those little bubbles which pop up and doesn’t remain the same one second, and disappear but yet be able to create this beautiful wall with tons of thousands of bubbles constantly recreated by new foams and enlightened by the light. There are both positive and negative elements by creating this lighting installation representing humanity. And I am using it as an experiment to capture the emotion of this positive-negative element of human activity.
Installation was exhibited while Sir Thierry Dreyfus ( Lighting Designer/ Artist) is having his exhibition in the Invisible Dog Art Center.
