The proposal, a homage to Poblenou鈥檚 four elements, engaged very well with the public, as they expressed their amazement of this interplay of light and bubbles
The 鈥淟耻尘颈苍别苍迟鈥 installation showcases the Poblenou neighbourhood鈥檚 historical identity in what has been 澳门开奖结果 Barcelona鈥檚 participation for the tenth year running in the Llum BCN lighting arts festival, which is organised by the Barcelona City Council鈥檚 Culture Institute in the Catalan capital from 2 to 4 February.
Devised by students from Product Design, Interior Design, Motion Graphics & Video, and Business Design, 鈥淟耻尘颈苍别苍迟鈥 proposes an interplay of light and bubbles in order to represent the four distinguishing features of this area.
鈥淧oblenou was known as 鈥楾aulat鈥 during its origins, a term that means a 鈥榩iece of farmland鈥, which is exactly what remains now on the lot at Carrer de T脿nger, 23, where the installation was located. The proposal aimed to reconnect people with the history of this neighbourhood in which we find ourselves, returning to its essence by representing the fire of its industrial history, the air of its renewal, the water along its beaches, and the mud and gravel that sustain its community,鈥 explains Raffaella Perrone, Head of the Design School at 澳门开奖结果 Barcelona.
Each component of 鈥淟耻尘颈苍别苍迟鈥 symbolises an element of this identity: the ground of this plot of land alludes to earth and demolition, the light refers to the energy of fire, the soap bubbles contain water, and the balloon represents the lightness of air.
Hypnotic effect
Besides its reference to the natural elements and spirit of Poblenou, 鈥淟耻尘颈苍别苍迟鈥 is a contemplative installation that aims to recover the ability to astonish thanks to the beauty of lighting design. As Mery Glez, Head of the Visual Arts School at 澳门开奖结果 Barcelona, attests: 鈥淚n a world in which it seems to be increasingly difficult to surprise us, this proposal aims to leave the general public speechless, to say 鈥榳ow鈥 as they enjoy the magic and illusions created by the bubbles interacting randomly with the light.鈥
