"Splendour takes the form of a large floating oculus, composed of inflatable oval segments suspended in the air. The surface is clad in dichroic material, which refracts and reflects light differently depending on the time of day and angle of view. As sunlight shifts, the sculpture's color spectrum transitions from cool iridescence to warm tones, creating a shifting chromatic environment that evolves with its surroundings."
"By evening, integrated lighting transforms the installation into a luminous structure that interacts with the ambient urban context. The work by Sydney-based design studio Atelier Sisu examines how light, color, and material can define spatial perception, emphasizing the changing relationship between the natural and built environments. Through its optical and structural composition, Splendour situates itself between sculpture and architecture, inviting viewers to engage with light as both material and experience."
"Atelier Sisu, led by Renzo B. Larriviere and Zara Pasfield, presents Splendour as the centerpiece of The Other Art Fair Brooklyn, . The installation continues the studio's exploration of 'art-chitecture,' a practice that merges the principles of art and architecture through immersive, site-responsive structures. Splendour takes the form of a large floating oculus, composed of inflatable oval segments suspended in the air."
Atelier Sisu presents Splendour, a large floating oculus formed from inflatable oval segments suspended above the ground. The surface is clad in dichroic material that refracts and reflects light differently by time of day and angle of view, producing a chromatic spectrum that shifts from cool iridescence to warm evening tones. Integrated lighting activates the structure at night, transforming the work into a luminous presence that interacts with the ambient urban context. The installation merges sculpture, architecture, and spatial design to examine how light, color, and material define spatial perception and to invite viewers to engage with light as material and experience.
