FLUX Nikomachi Karakostanoglou

THIS PROJECT BEGAN WITH AN 18-METER SCULPTURE BY NIKOMACHI KARAKOSTANOGLOU. DUE TO URBAN-PLANNING CONSTRAINTS, THE PIECE COULD NOT BE INSTALLED IN ITS INTENDED LOCATION IN ITS MATERIAL FORM, SO THE WORK HAD TO TRANSFORM. SHORTLY BEFORE CASTING, THE SCULPTURE WAS PLACED IN THE FOUNDRY YARD, WHERE WE FILMED IT. TO ILLUMINATE THE FORM AT SCALE, WE USED DRONE LIGHTING,CREATING A FLOATING,DIRECTIONAL LIGHT THAT REVEALED THE SURFACE, VOLUME AND LIQUID CHARACTER OF THE SCULPTURE. FROM THE MATERIAL WE CAPTURED, WE DEVELOPED A DIGITAL SCULPTURE WITH A SENSE OF FLOW. THE RESULTING VIDEO WORK, “FLUX”, WAS FIRST PRESENTED IN PLÁSMATA II IN IOANNINA AND LATER TRAVELLED TO ATHENS, WHERE IT WAS PROJECTED ON THE VERY WALL THE PHYSICAL SCULPTURE WAS ORIGINALLY MEANT TO OCCUPY.
