Forest of Light

This installation was made for a fashion brand during a design week. The Japanese architect and his office drew on the experience of a forest at twilight, presenting light and sound in a new architectural setting.

In a darkened room, tall cones of light fall from the ceiling and respond to the movement of visitors. Fog and a composed soundscape fill the space, and mirrored walls extend it into an endless landscape where the beams become abstract trees, joining into a shifting forest of light.

People wander through it as if drawn by the light. Light and people act on each other, and the space is shaped by their presence.
