PLACEMAKER I
The Placemaker I focuses on ideas of extended space to provide an intimate, personal experience, the illuminated ring circles viewers in pure white light in an effort to provoke contemplation within an abstract environment. The innovation involves a shift in perspective that finds a new way to approach the challenge. The exploration of form in a dialogical context between art and architecture, experience and appropriation, process and dissemination. In this framework, we focus on acts as a disruptive artistic gesture.
PLACEMAKER II
The Placemaker II appropriates into industrial landscapes and gives it a functional twist by painting it red and assembling a 5.4 meters height structure on biomaterial of palm oil waste that allows scrambled perspectives of its surroundings, capable of extending views beyond the objects. It further gave an interactive and playful purpose to the piece and question the disruption aspect of public art, instilling new meanings into it and proposing different ways of appropriating and dialoguing with the industrial territory.
