Bananas

Wallpaper, glazed ceramic, colour changing LED lights, UV light tube, mini video projector.
Installation view at the Herbert Read Gallery, Canterbury, 2016

This work investigates the relationship between sculptural object, light projection and reflection. The shape of a bunch of bananas is decontextualized becoming a lamp that emits light and the same time the support for the video projection together with the wall paper. The neutral colour of the wallpaper and of the white glaze (on which it was applied a further layer of mother pearl luster) create ever changing reflections and different shade of colours in relation to the light emitted by the sculpture and the coloured light projected by the mini digital projected.
