Lecture 7 - The Black Box Reflection


Erika Kruger's project "The Black Box, The Concealed Room" captivates aspects of The Shadow within a spectrum of perspectives, where Book 5: "Shadow in Repetition" presents different axonometric outlooks of a proposed art gallery. This slide highlights the idea of structural repetition where components have been integrated along an extent of a wall section (on the left) in that the casting of a light source from above, creates a sense of correlation between the physical objects and their "lively" shadows. A narrowed snapshot of the complex (on the right), depicts the consequence of lighting through negative prisms carved out of a stretch of repetitive structural features.

In modification to my work, I plan to develop terrestrial pillars to depict a distinctive landform that emphasises the idea of repetition, in that the effects of lighting and shadow poses a significant perspective upon a structure consisting solid blocks and negative prisms.
