地平线上的巴西纪念碑

英文名称：Brazil monument on the horizon

位置：巴西

该项目位于巴西，是由FELIPPE MORAES完成的近期作品。FELIPPE MORAES将该作品命名为“地平线上的纪念碑”。它是个大规模的公共艺术装置，将永久性的竖立在首都里约Niteroi的Oscar Niemeyer码头上，受到了游客们的欢迎。该纪念碑高度约为5米，从艺术创作方面来看，它就像是一个依地势而建的天文台，游客们可以从内部沿着阶梯爬到顶端，从这里可以欣赏美丽的海景以及城市的自然风光。

在该项目的建设过程中，设计团队对基本方位的把握十分精准，有棱角的地方都面朝西方，这样能够欣赏到最美的里约夕阳。此外，设计团队根据新石器时代开始形成的历法来标志二至点，春分以及秋分。除了视觉上的享受之外，该装置也能够带给人们一次全新的听觉体验。这里环境较为安静，我们可以远离城市的噪音，任由自然风吹出最动听的乐曲。因此，这里不失为一个独立思考，欣赏风景的好地方。

Felippe Moraes’ most recent work entitled “Monument to the Horizon” is a large scale public sculpture permanently installed in a pier inside Oscar Niemeyer’s complex known as Caminho Niemeyer in the city of Niteroi in Rio de Janeiro.The 5m high piece is defined by the artist as “an observatory of horizons” in which the public can climb its internal staircase to peek into a 180° strip in the steel wall that reveals just a thread of the beautiful landscape of Rio de Janeiro.

The work is installed in perfect alignment with the cardinal points, and points precisely to the west, providing a powerful view of Rio’s sunset and working as a Neolithic calendar, marking the solstices and the equinoxes. Beyond the visual involvement, the piece also promotes a sound experience, isolating almost all the external noises and having the wind produce introspective sounds inside. Therefore, the sculpture is an invitation to enjoy the silence and the contemplative power of this landscape that is one of the most beautiful in the world.
