Night & day
Photographic, Video Installation by Lucía Warck Meister
Night & day is an installation about strength and precariousness, the locus of beauty and storm, the source of calm and turmoil.
The unusual scale is a fundamental factor of the installation. It consists of 16 translucent cast glass spheres (32”, 24” and 16” diameter).
As if originated from within the waters and later dispersed on the ground it is now ready to generate from its labile body. Its undeniable sensuality and porous boundaries give the sense of precariousness.
The translucent spheres sparkle in the light of the sun activating their space and surroundings. Thus, our perception of the environment is enhanced. Their shine and apparently immateriality confer lightness and an organic quality to the group. The daylight will shift colors and reflections along with the passing weather.Night & day merges quietly with its site.
I created this installation for The Palm Beach Biennale (February –May 2006), which won the First Prize (there were 1st, 2nd and 3rd Prize). It was placed close to a 99- acre lake. Night & day was also exhibited at the Bellevue Outdoor Sculpture Exhibition from June through October 2006. This time the work was installed in a pool just in front the newly renovated City Hall.
