The Phosphere

The Phosphere was my entry in Bompas and Parr's Architectural Fireworks Competition, for which I received the High Commendation in Real World Spectacle.
​
Close your eyes for me. Close your eyes, and try looking inside of them, as if you tried to study the inside of your eyelids. Can you see them? The little flashes of light that pass fleetingly, so quick that you even doubt they’re there. Little fireworks of white light that disappear as soon as you try to properly look at them. Phosphenes.
 
Phosphenes appear most often if you rub your eyes, in effect, stimulating the cells of the retina to get this star-like, internal cinemascope of colours and visions. What Poet Robert Desnos called ‘phosphorescent blooms (that) appear and fade and are reborn like fleshy fireworks’. The name itself lends itself to the relation to fireworks, as its greek etymology means ‘show’ and ‘light’.
​
The experience
A Sphere, of a 2.3 m diameter (7.544feet) is installed in an empty room. The room itself should be dark, with the only source of light coming from the sphere, which is made of intense lights whose patterns resembles firework explosions.
You book your experience with a time slot - the experience will last 20 min or so. You either book for two or accept to be paired at random.
