'kaleidoscope' by ann wigandt, moldova
Ex-equo third place winner, moldova-based designer ann wigandt's main idea is to bring ito jakuchu's artistic oeuvre back to life through an installation similar to a 'kaleidoscope' from which the work draws its name. In a small enclosed room, the visitor finds himself surrounded by a diversity of colors and details
represented by ito jakuchu's brushstrokes. The printed artwork on the floor is reflected by the many faceted mirrors that hang from the ceiling and on all walls.
Blooming trees, lamps in form of birdcages and flying butterflies complete the overwhelming sscenography.
