Exploring the ideas of interaction and perspective, Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto has created an interactive installation at the Salone del Mobile for Swedish clothing brand COS that utilizes only mirrors, cones of light, and a specially composed soundtrack. Called Forest of Light, the piece—which will be on show through April 17 at Milan’s Cinema Arti, an abandoned 1930s theater located in the city’s San Babila district—offers an immersive, shifting landscape where light and shadow overlap, interplay, and change minute to minute.
In the installation, light beams pierce the pitch-black room and then slowly fade in and out as visitors move around the space. The illumination “represents a moment, and then is gone, without anything left,” explains Fujimoto.
