Art in Porto, Portugal: The purple 'eclipse' in the historic heart of the city, made by FAHR
FAHR ® is an internationally awarded creative and experimental studio, which (un)focuses its work between Art and Architecture. FAHR has constructed the six meter diameter sphere using ventilation ducts, whose metallic texture and modular structure are revealed when approaching the piece. forming a visual dialogue with the city center, the apertures in each tube allow passers-by to peek through and discover different points of view. by day, ‘eclipse’ reflects sunlight over the square, while by night, a spotlight strongly illuminates one of its sides and keeps the opposite elevation in darkness — fully living up to its name. the installation will be showcased at largo amor de perdição until may 2017.
