Installation
LED, candy wrappers and fan
200 x 60 x 15 cm

A series of candy wrappers is aligned on the wall, and with the help of a fan, they move under the light of a lantern in a dark environment. The rustling of the small wrappers, which are actually pieces of laminated plastic, creates reflections on the wall, producing a kind of silver flame. Sweet Spark takes advantage of the repetition of an almost invisible element in our daily life — the packaging of candies and sweets — and, through an artifice, transforms into a moving, delicate, and precious beam.
