Urban Makyoh has been conceived for Ilight
This installation is inspired by two opposing light phenomena. The first is the Makyoh, an ancient Chinese art and the second, the patterns made by reflected sunlight from modern skyscrapers.
Makyoh appears as a mirror to an observer until sunlight or another bright light hits the polished surface, at which point an image appears in the reflected light.
This festival commission, realised in collaboration with the School of the Arts Singapore, is being planned as a permanent public installation.
The reflective material for Urban Makyoh is Almeco Vega 98110
Ilight will take place from 9 March to 1 April 2012 (7:30pm - 11:00pm )
