Spanish artistSpYis known for transforming cityscapes with their striking installations.
OVOIDwas created forNoor Riyadh, a festival devoted to public art that lights up the city with bright installations.
And yet, it is incredibly alluring and hypnotic.
This illuminated red ovoid not only inhabits the landscape, but activates and redefines it.
Its presence transforms space, questioning notions of scale and materiality.
However, scale is always relative, explains SpY.
A large installation can be perceived in different ways depending on its context.
This play of proportions activates the viewer’s perception, confronting him with his own scale within the environment.
SpY’s massive installations seek to question the public and make them engage with the space they inhabit.
