Twins / lawrence lek + onur ozkaya

Posted in Design - Installations by * FORMAKERS | Tags: Installations

Twins is an installation by artist Lawrence Lek and industrial designer Onur Ozkaya.

Two identical wings are captured at the moment of splitting apart.

Floating out of the darkness, the suspended skins form a route into an artificial cave, where two projectors cast shadows that draw you closer inside.

in lawrence lek's words: 'I wanted to create a sculpture that you could inhabit, one that you could enter an illuminated world in which light and shadow were as important as structure.

I also wanted to combine two contrasting natural forms-- the playfulness of wings in flight, and the intimacy of a womb-like enclosure.

the project combine[s] earlier interests in biological skins and exoskeletons with a simple route or passage through an interior zone.

this notion of creating an inhabitable sculpture would operate between our animal instinct to be immersed in nature, and our intellectual desire to create and control our environment.
