The kinetic LightFan sculpture stems from a journey of inspiration through the western United States.

Suspended over restaurant kitchens, casino halls or motel rooms, the fan object symbolizes for the duo the collective imagination of a mythical America.

The object’s direct quote is apprehended in a «pop»  and offbeat look at the frenzy of luminous signs that punctuate these landscapes.

True cultural icons, these signs unfold a kinetic sequence in the city, acting as a magnet and thus shaping our dynamic relationship with space. Here, the ventilating function fades away to emphasize the hypnotic beauty of the slow continuous rotation. Vivid and striking, the colored light highlights the graphic aspect of this object and gives it its attractiveness.

Structure – motion and light fuse together in one single shape.
