PRISMATIC
hou de sousa, new york city
LOCATION: GEORGETOWN WATERFRONT PARK (NEAR INTERSECTION OF WISCONSIN AVE & k ST)
Prismatic is a kaleidoscope of light, color, and space that frames a myriad of perspectives. The site-specific artwork is unique on all sides, encouraging the public to explore the exterior, as well as meander through its translucent interior. Iridescent cords weave between a lightweight steel lattice, producing a dynamic visual effect known as a moiré. As visitors turn their gaze or walk about the space, patterns in the background and foreground continuously converge and delaminate, resulting in the perception that static surfaces are somehow in motion. |
