Umenie a dizajn

Sme závislí na mobilných telefónoch? Podľa týchto dvoch umelkýň radšej žijeme vo virtuálnej realite, o čom svedčia aj ich sochy!

Ruku na srdce – ak by nám niekto stopoval čas, ktorý strávime pozeraním do smartfónu, k akému číslu by sme sa dostali? Občas to vyzerá akoby sme radšej venovali pozornosť novinkám na sociálnych sieťach a nie vlastnej rodine. Naša posadnutosť novými technológiami sa vymyká kontrole a odráža sa to aj v umeleckých projektoch.

Na Festivale svetiel v Amsterdame, ktorý sa koná každoročne od roku 2012 a je najväčší v Európe, sa spojili dve výnimočné umelkyne. Gali May Lucas sa venuje umeleckým inštaláciám a Karoline Hinz je sochárka. Spoločne vytvorili súsošie, kde ľudia uprene hľadia na obrazovku svojho telefónu a majú ním osvetlenú tvár. Nazvali ich „Absorbed by light“, čo znamená Absorbovaní svetlom.

Gali si pri ceste do práce všímala, ako ľudia spolu nekomunikujú a každý má v ruke smartfón. Stáva sa to v autobusoch, v parku, dokonca pri chôdzi… To sa stalo jej prvotnou inšpiráciou. Preto boli sochy vytvorené v životnej veľkosti a pred budovou Ermitáže sa s nimi fotografujú mnohí náhodne okoloidúci.

new project! “Absorbed By Light II“ just left the studio. I’ve been working hard on this piece in the last couple of weeks and can’t wait to see it illuminated soon! Again it was a great pleasure to make this come to life for artist @galilucas – thank you so much for trusting me once more with this. So excited to see it in the dark…!! // / / #propshopberlin #galilucas #absorbedbylight #karolinehinz #madeinberlin #lightartcollection #sculpture #phoneaddiction #sculptor #lightart #fiberglass #makersmovement #propmaker #maker

The third version of “Absorbed By Light” for artist @galilucas is currently installed in London, UK!🇬🇧 I really loved doing this one, the “business” adaptation. Big thanks as always to Gali for being such an incredible partner to work with, @lightartcollection for making everything possible and placing those sculptures all around the globe – pretty insane! More pictures will follow 🙃 lifesize, fiberglass/epoxy, painted with super matte Polyurethane laquer, flickering lightpads.✨✨//📸1: Amanda Kool // // #galilucas #absorbedbylight #lightart #sculpture #phoneaddict #karolinehinz #propshopberlin #lightsculpture

New project! “Absorbed by light” is an installation by @galilucas for this years @amsterdamlightfestival , executed by me in my Berlin studio. It’s a scene typically encountered today on a regular basis where people find themselves much rather interacting with their smartphones instead of each other. Ironically, Gali found my work over half a year ago via instagram and commissioned me to bring her idea to life. I am insanely happy that we got to work on this together and can’t thank you enough for being the kind person you are🖤 the Amsterdam Light Festival is running until January 20th and you can find the installation in front of the Hermitage museum, lit up every night. Feel free to take a seat. And don’t forget to take the whole route to see some spectacular artworks all over the city!🌌 (First picture by Janus van Eijden, second by Richard Rigby)// #absorbedbylight #galilucas #propshopberlin #amsterdamlightfestival #sculpture #sculptor #fiberglass
