INFINITA DAZZLES AT AMSTERDAM LIGHT FESTIVAL

The unveiling of Balmond’s latest sculpture last week marked the opening phase of the city’s sixth annual Light Festival . Curated by Chinese artist Ai Weiwei, the festival is a celebration of light and form focusing on the theme of existentialism.

Infinita cascades, one embedment upon the other of crystal growth. It is an organic fractal system of subdivision branching from trunk to bud. The piece engages the relationship between external appearance and internal process, the very balance of existence.

Visitors experience a visual journey through the ‘looking glass’. As with Alice In Wonderland, scale loses measure and time bends. Initially the eye is drawn to the reflection of white light from the juxtaposed geometric surfaces. Then on closer proximity, a radiant land of technicolour precision comes to life with reflection and refraction.

The water exhibition will run until 21st January composing of 21 artworks by international artists and designers.

Balmond’s public art footprint continues to grow across the globe with the unveiling of his fourth piece in the last six months.
