"Ala", "Better", "Diao"... "The Four Flats" Light and Shadow Devices Catch the Eye in Hot Summer Nights | Community | Light and Shadow
"Allah", "Better", "Colourful", "whine"... After a while, they suddenly switched to "Green", "Huan Tongji", "Innovation"... On the evening of July 18th, outside the square of Siping Community Cultural Activity Center on Fushun Road in Yangpu District, seven circular pictures slowly rotated in light and shadow, with keywords about the community on them. The children chased the flowing light and frolicked, enjoying the summer nights. It turns out that this is the "Most Siping" light and shadow installation of the community art work recently completed by Siping Community, a new landscape in Yangpu.
The children were chasing the flowing light and shadow, playing and enjoying the summer night time.
This set of light and shadow installation works was completed by designers Zheng Luqiao and Xiong Zichao. They graduated from Tongji University and have been closely related to the Siping community from their studies to work.
At the end of 2022, Siping Community invited architects Zheng Luqiao and Xiong Zichao to design a projection project for the cultural activity center of Siping Community on Fushun Road, hoping to integrate the characteristics of the site and showcase the community's culture. After inspecting the site, the two designers proposed the concept of cultural co creation and introduced the "A-Z" workshop method. They invited residents to express their impressions of the community using 26 key words, and finally presented them through dynamic projection.
For the design concept of the work, designer Zheng Luqiao summarized it as "exploring a sense of history", "presenting a sense of community", and "creating a sense of belonging". She hopes that through this work, not only can the cultural characteristics of the community be presented, but also the stories and historical memories of the community can be excavated, presented through the multiple overlapping and polyphonic combination of history and reality. "Community is a magical field that often gives us unexpected feedback, which also allows us to constantly grow ourselves," said designer Xiong Zichao.
