The Polish artists have chosen the avenue on Vegova street to place their installation among the tree canopies that adorn this street. The modular site-specific installation, executed by means of colored strips spanning from tree to tree, is based on a horizontal placement of color lines that bring an element of rationalized spatial arrangement to the urban space. The concept is harmoniously adapted to the natural elements and thus creates a unique light landscape that comes to the fore especially at night. The project is mesmerizing with its clear structure and a simple, yet effective visual expression: in this sense it reminds of a hybrid between an image and a video recording whose mobility depends on the wind. The installation can be understood as a tiny poetic gesture that introduces a playful combination of colors and shapes into the public space.
