The installation "Reflected Light" invites exploration into the transformative power of light and color within the distinctive architectural context of the gallery corridor at Bagsværd Church, designed by Jørn Utzon.
This installation features three circular elements strategically placed in locations where natural daylight from the skylights is most intense. Painted white to blend with the corridor walls, these objects are designed to be nearly invisible at first glance. Two of these elements are constructed with grid structures that permit light to pass through and reflect off their colored backs. This interaction generates a dynamic and continuously changing display of colored shadows on the walls, evolving with the movement of daylight.
Daylight plays a crucial role in "Reflected Light," with its quality and intensity influencing the visual effects of the installation. The skylights in the corridor provide a direct source of natural light that varies throughout the day due to the shifting position of the sun. As the angle of daylight changes from morning to afternoon and evening, the colored shadows cast by the installation evolve, creating a constantly shifting canvas of light and color. This interaction highlights the ephemeral nature of daylight and its capacity to transform the perception of a space.
"Reflected Light" enhances the existing modular design of the corridor and pays homage to the architectural vision of Jørn Utzon, the renowned architect behind Bagsværd Church. Lykke’s site-specific installation complements and enriches the space, offering visitors a renewed understanding of the interplay between light, color, and architecture. "Reflected Light" transforms the corridor through the delicate interaction of light and shadow, driven by the natural rhythms of daylight.
