Lúcia Koch explores the ambient light of spaces, covering facades, skylights and windows with perforated surfaces, translucent materials and cinematographic filters. Conversion is an installation that plays with the natural light in Bait Habib Shalawani, a small house located in Sharjah’s Heritage Area and attached to a large courtyard. Koch covered the courtyard with a metal structure made up of pivoting panels of coloured filters. Often used for lighting film sets, these "colour-correction" filters here create cinema without film: sunlight is converted into a fragmented range of colours – from a sodium vapour light to a golden sunset, from a dark cloud shadow to a twilight-hour glow – altering visitors’ experience depending on the area in which they stand, the angle of the panels above them and the time of day. At every moment, new atmospheres are created.
Entstanden im Auftrag der Sharjah Art Foundation.
