Echoing some of Christo’s most visually impactful art installations, SpY has transformed Ghent University’s Aula Academia into an illuminated spiky creation.
Using an impressive 11,984 illuminated traffic cones, the main neoclassical columns have been festooned to transform them into something dramatic, eye catching, and wild.
It’s a fascinating juxtaposition, pairing classic architecture and smooth stone with something bright, plastic, and more symbolic of caution, or construction.
The cones are cleverly positioned like puzzle pieces to completely cover the columns. The addition of lighting really transform the entire installation into a marvel to behold.
Simply named CONES, the installation is part of a larger light festival that includes Charles Pétillon, Benedikt Tolar, Atelier Sisu, and more.
