Membranes

Membranes is an immersive environment developed by Beat.per:frame collective.

The project, commissioned by Ordine degli Architetti e Paesaggisti delle province di Parma e Piacenza and Fondazione Architetti Parma e Piacenza was displayed, for the first time, at Lights/out Pasubio, urban laboratory aimed at recovering abandoned area of Via Pasubio.

The ephemeral architecture consists of a parallel series of 12 back-projected organdy walls.

It extends to the center of the space, generating a massive perception of visual and sound pulses received inside.

The visual cycle is divided into three acts constantly repeated, inspired by the Opus alchemicum:

Nigredo:

Black, crow, chaos, loneliness, anguish, source, number.

Albedo:

White, moon, purity, energy, creativity, symbol, sound.

Rubedo:

Red, fire, wedding, completeness, flower, world, word.
