Kont·a 灯光装置丨英国巴斯丨Sebastián Arquitectos

如何思考与呈现一个城市的形象，展示它最明确、清晰的象征呢？纵观历史，艺术与自然的关系在不同时期发展变化，酝酿出暗示性的、突然的、暴力的、善良的、丰富的或令人惊讶的丰富对话。

How to present and rethink the image of a city, its most defined and clear symbol. Historically, the relationship between art and nature has produced different types of conversation depending on the degree of intervention developed, bringing us suggestive, abrupt, violent, kind, enriching, or surprising dialogues.

作为一个临时性项目，Kontxa即展现出短暂且可逆的特征，装置将使人们完全沉浸在海洋美景和圣塞巴斯蒂安市码头“La Concha（贝壳）”的壮丽风光中。

Kontxa is proposed from the terms of the ephemeral, of the construction of an event that, within the licenses that gives us its completely reversible and instantaneous character, adorns and views for the occasion the already beautiful delivery of the sea to the city of San Sebastián in its famous natural dock, called La Concha (the shell).

在此，人造光作为最强大的工具，重新勾勒与放大了圣塞巴斯蒂安夜景的巨大轮廓。然而，沉浸在光中时，这幅城市壁画的巨大视觉冲击力将使人瞬间陷入模糊，仿佛一切只是光的幻觉，是魔法的事件。

Artificial light thus becomes the most powerful tool to paint the radios that redraw this gigantic shell in the San Sebastián night. However, the tremendous visual impact of this urban mural is instantly blurred as if nothing had ever happened.  This is the illusion of light, the magic of event.

这是一件用光和声制成的短暂的大地艺术，它描绘了每个人都知道却从未追寻过的东西——我们星球上的“美丽贝壳”。圣塞巴斯蒂安作为一个伟大的城市剧院，给予了人们想象所及的最大舞台。

It is an ephemeral landart work made with light and sound that draws what everyone knows is there but no one has traced, a beautiful shell in one of the most privileged places in our geography. San Sebastián as a great urban theater, as the largest stage we can imagine.

Kontxa是海洋与陆地、自然与城市、野生与驯养的海洋环境间的媒介，甚至可以在传统和当代间架起桥梁。光与声音在一系列作品中相互作用，例如Geziak（箭头）一曲中，传统乐器txalapartas和albokas的合奏伴随着城市和沙滩上的光柱翩翩起舞，仿佛在与海浪嬉戏，在海湾中引发回响。

Kontxa operates on the boundary between sea and land, between nature and the city, between the environment of a wild and domesticated sea. We wanted that from this condition of limit also operate between tradition and contemporaneity, and for this the light interacts with the sound in a series of pieces such as Geziak (arrows) where the sounds of the traditional instruments as txalapartas and albokas dialogue and dance with the beams of light that bathe the city and the beach and play with the waves, making all the resonances of the bay resonate in unison.

Kontxa是为2021年圣诞节制作的装置，并于2020年夏季使用远程激光投影仪进行了预先测试，跨越了圣克拉拉岛和拉孔查海滩间1200米的距离。继Chillida、Oteiza和Cristina Iglesias等艺术装置之后，圣塞巴斯蒂安市政府希望在海湾中再增设一件临时性的艺术品。

Kontxa is an installation made for Christmas 2021 and tested in the summer of 2020 with long-range laser projectors that sweep the distance of 1.200 m between the Island of Santa Clara and the beach of La Concha. The City Council of San Sebastian has wanted to add in the bay a piece of ephemeral art to the already existing references of Chillida, Oteiza, and the recent work of Cristina Iglesias on the island itself.

动态装置的视听效果蔓延至整个海岸线，覆盖了海湾，将海滩、长廊以及伊格尔多和乌尔古尔山脉联结成共同的感知。在远离城市的至高点，作品看上去仿佛一个巨型贝壳。

It is a dynamic installation, accompanied by an audiovisual show of territorial dimension, which covers the entire bay and allows different perceptions either from the beach, the promenade and the Igeldo and Urgull mountains.   In the distance from the high points of the city the work is perceived as a large shell.

光线从一座大型灯塔出发，在水面和海滩获得了自己的非凡维度。海滩空气、薄雾、蒸汽、海浪和沙子的共同运动中，光的动态效果呈现出完整的视觉曲目。悬浮的粒子形成动态阴影、蒸汽云雾和七彩的光衍射现象，在砂砾中翩翩起舞，宛如一道彩虹映撞击在历史长廊上。

But it is from the plane of the water and from the beach, where the rays acquire their own and extraordinary dimension. Born from a large lighthouse they display a whole visual repertoire of dynamic effects of the light itself in its play with the atmospheric conditions of the beach, with the mist, the steam, the movement of the waves and the sand. The various suspended moisture filters generate dynamic shadows, vaporous clouds of color, and the diffraction of light in a chromatic prism, bathing the sand and ramming like a multicolored rainbow against the wall of the historic promenade.
