Description:
The structure is made of two-by-four wood studs. A series of sequenced spotlights pointing outwards, perpendicular to the (tilted) axis, are installed inside, near the core of the structure. The installation is designed to be presented in two different states: with and without the inflatable element. The wood structure is used to secure the giant inflatable neck pillow which becomes a reflector for the spotlights. The inflatable, tucked inside the structure, can be temporarily removed when the wind becomes too strong. The wood structure is burned at the end of the festival.
