The installation takes advantage from the holes in the original object and the translucent properties of its material – polypropylene plastic -, simultaneously flexible, non-inflammable, highly absorbent and permeable to light. Frozen Trees blends ethereally with the urban surrounding, and assumes a different character during the day and night. By day, the trees create surprising shadows and the ensemble creates an abstract, white landscape; at night, illuminated from inside by LEDs, the "trees" double as street lamps, exploding with white light with variable intensity.
Frozen Trees: a lighting installation
An ephemeral intervention in a historical square builds an illuminated, frozen and fractal landscape.
