Light sculpture for the Schwerin market square
microlightsculpture 01 The microlightsculpture in Schwerin was the first in a series of light sculptures that the architect and artist Ruairí O‘ Brien deliberately created using simple means, simple materials and simple construction as a homage to the art of architecture, to the effect of light on people, space and time developed. An object measuring 3 x 3 meters was created for the Schwerin market square, consisting of 3 identical, variably combinable module parts, which in the present composition form a cube space and form a focal point for the lighting theme with a quiet action character. During the day it takes on the function of a shadow caster , in the evening that of an alternator. It subtly reflects the chronology of daily routine and the dramaturgy of life and ergonomically illustrates the relationship between micro and macro scales.
