Its Too Hot To Be Out
Date___
Throughout
Time___
6pm onwards
Details___
It's too hot to be out is an expression that we are all too familiar with, particularly with a space with nothing to offer us. Even though we long for the borderless free sky, the heat gets in the way. It's too hot to be out brings a slice of the sky that we missed during the day into the evening when it's cool enough to be out. The installation is situated on a long narrow corridor that, even when compared to the rooftop, is considered less of a space of interest. Dealing with the situated space and the longing for the sky, this work cuts a slice of the sky from a video that is recorded 6am - 6pm daily. The result is visualised as a single row of led lights along this narrow corridor, playing back the sky above the rooftop.
