Villa Savoye, le Corbusier

Drawing on half-transparent adhesive film, 2004

Grinning, 2004 (Grinsen)
Dimensions: 841 cm height x 1189 cm weight, Material: adhesive film
Drawing on half-transparent adhesive film.

The drawing is computer generated. It is a face with six eyes and a wide opened grinning mouth. The six eyes are positioned on the face on such a way that the spectator will experience a flicker effect, when he tries to focus his eyes on the drawing. The drawing is attached to the bathroom window of the Villa Savoye and because of the attached drawing to the window the room appears darker and only a few rays of light enter it.
