TIDES by Kwangho Lee x Wang & Söderström for NOROO

SELECTED

Not a defined color, rather a fluid one, changing according to the rhythms of nature, such as the movements of Sun, Moon and Earth which produce the tides. This color trend in design is presented for the first time in Italy by Noroo, a Korean company leader in the paint sector.

The color of the future is artistically interpreted by the Tides – Maree exhibition, in the Ventura Centrale District, inspired by the layers of time, pulse and temporalities of the universe, which we cannot any more easily feel or sense. This interaction between man and nature is manifested by sensorial perceptions in synergic contact with the environment around us.

Part of this interconnected cosmos is the complex dance of gravity between the Moon, Earth and Sun that here on Earth gives us the Tides. During low tide, the water pulls away and reveals a mysteriously hidden landscape, reflecting puddles and curious shapes. A fleeting experience where time, color and light become fluid like the ocean.

Two artists are the key players of the Tides - Maree installation: the Korean Kwangho Lee and Danish studio Wang & Söderström.

Kwangho Lee showcases 100 modular stools of The Moment of Eclipse series. Each eclipse shaped stool creates a union with the next stool forming chains of endlessly intriguing variations.

Wang & Söderström, the other creative duo, displays in the exhibition an otherworldly landscape in dreamlike colors with a strong impression of being at the center of a solar eclipse. Visitors can take a low tide walk in everchanging light and colors, reflect themselves in the puddles and discover objects and sculptures on uncommon ground, with new perspectives.
