A view From Two Sides

The two reflecting spheres transform the bridge into an observation deck that mirrors the environment in unexpected ways.

Each sphere presents the observer with a panoramic view that includes the sky, the river, shores, bridge, pedestrians and cyclists.

Kenneth Emig's art practice intersects form, light, sound, movement and technology.

He aims to elicit a greater awareness of how we perceive and understand our world.

Completed 2016

Ces deux sphères réfléchissantes transforment la passerelle en une plate-forme d’observation qui reflète l’environnement de manière inattendue. Chaque sphère offre une vue panoramique du ciel, de la rivière, des rives, de la passerelle, des piétons et des cyclistes. En regardant ces sphères, nous nous voyons au milieu du monde qui nous entoure.

L’oeuvre de Kenneth Emig combine, forme, lumière, son, mouvement et technologie.

L’artiste vise à nous faire prendre conscience de notre perception et de notre vision du monde.

Réalisation: 2016
