Premiere

The idea of topia is a place with characteristic features, neither positive nor negative. To be “topian” is to behave as if the world we see as ideal – already exists. By playing on this concept, and creating a vague distinction between dystopia and utopia – the installation facilitates reflection on whether we as a species can actually call ourselves topian. Have we arrived there or are we on our way? The installation invites you to explore the relationship between the staged spatial experience, the relationship between land and water, as well as culture and nature – in a mixed dystopian and utopian light experience for reflection on 2PIAN.

Signify is a world leader in lighting for businesses, consumers and lighting for the “Internet of Things”. Signify’s goal is to bring out the extraordinary potential of light to contribute to a brighter life and a better world, and to make people’s lives safer and more comfortable.
