Landscape In The World of Straight Lines
Duration
3 – 4 min
Venue
Tai Kwun Block 14 Side Wall
Landscape in the World of Straight Lines is a site-specific projection work exploring the language of geometry in the built environment. Inspired by the contrasts between architecture and the natural horizon, the piece considers how straight lines shape our perception of space and movement. Installed on the exterior wall of D Hall, the work casts temporal lights that merge imagined landscapes with the contours of the city, inviting passersby to pause and look upward.
