+ Brief
In 2012, Gazelli Art House launched the Window Project, utilising the facade of the gallery as an additional frieze-style display platform.
Since 2015, the initiative has been repurposed to specifically support art school graduates through open call competitions three times a year.
+ Solution
The piece reflects on the concept of migration. Three vinyls depicting oil-pastel drawings are used to block the light in the gallery.
On the inside, the same depiction of the seascape drawings is being projected on a thin veil that oscillates continuously.
This organic movement is originated by three fans that allow the fabric to wave, mimicking the movement of the sea.
