Description

Fanfanfan is a site-specific series of hyper-sculptures, consisting of one or multiple sculptures rotating at high speed. The rotating shapes are aerostructures created from Formula-1 carbon to generate the heaviness that allows them to accelerate rapidly. Exposing the aerostructures to gravitational force presents an attempt to test the material properties to their limit.

When white light is projected onto the rotating shapes, it transforms into a visual array of colors and stroboscopic phenomena. Fanfanfan explores a symphony of mechanical sound vibrations.
