Atlanta, Georgia, USA

Described by Dutch designer Sabine Marcelis as a kaleidoscope of color, light and reflection, the “Panorama” is a interactive outdoor environment is grounded in the designer’s interest in material experimentation to transform spaces through an investigation of light, transparency, color, and movement.

The installation will literally and metaphorically reflect the sun, transforming perceptions and injecting warmth into the experience of entering the piazza of the High Museum of Art in Atlanta.

The installation consists of four rectangular glass-cladded pillars of orange and red ombre that rotate to offer visitors  “a different perspective of their surroundings” when passing through and around the installation.

“By entering the space between the pillars as they rotate, visitors are given a seamless visual experience that offers a different perspective of their surroundings,” says the designer.

“As the pillars move, they will act as magnets to their surroundings, pulling light into a desaturated space to generate colorful reflections, increasing the visual impact of the work.”
