Overview

A kinetic and sound sculpture made up of pieces of barrier tape. “Barrier Tape” continues a kinetic installation line of work based on real-life objects and hypnotic patterns. The piece decontextualises an everyday urban element used to control and condition the movement of people, and uses it to create a 1.600 square meter installation. The result is a vast surface, ever-shifting in form, that visitors can move across. Inside the piece, the repeated element takes the viewer into a transitory state of disorientation. The pieces of tape swing in unison with the wind, creating a wave-like motion throughout the composition and generating an intense, random soundscape.

Goals

Enhancing the industrial area of Amsterdam's docks and creating a work that interacts with the local population
