yves behar / fuseproject: anima terra in collaboration with samsung

anima terra by yves behar/fuseproject

with the opening of the new modern wing at the chicago art institute, yves béhar is presenting the commissioned ‘anima terra’, a sculptural landscape internally illuminated by LED’s.  this work is a collaboration with samsung, and the latest in a series of laboratory projects. as a continuation of his experimental lighting work using LED’s, ‘anima terra’ (latin for living earth, or living landscape), is a sculptural topographic surface made of thin layers of formed metal that are individually and invisibly lit from within to enable a range of inner lighting expressions.  these expressions are inspired by natural phenomena, like the changing light from dawn to dusk,

like a living landscape that changes over time, ‘anima terra’ uses LED technology to evoke and celebrate the animating ‘inner glow’ – both natural and artificial –  that is everywhere in the world around us.
