“In motion”公共艺术丨芬兰丨Baptiste Debombourg

“In motion”是艺术家Baptiste Debombourg为芬兰阿尔托大学新落成的Kide大楼创作的公共艺术作品，由Outi Turpeinen策划。

‘In motion’ is a public art commission by artist Baptiste Debombourg, curated by Outi Turpeinen, for the new Kide Building at Aalto University in Finland.

Kide大楼由SARC+SIGGE Architects设计，Max Hartman担任大楼的首席设计师。该大楼主要用于阿尔托大学基础科学学院（应用物理）和电气工程学院的教育和研究。作为悠长而醒目的校园景观的一部分，Kide大楼位于Otaniemi校区的中心地带，正对着阿尔瓦·阿尔托设计的大学生活动中心。

The Kide building was designed by SARC+SIGGE Architects, with Max Hartman as the lead designer for educational and research purposes for Aalto University’s School of Basic Sciences (Applied Physics) and School of Electrical Engineering. It is located at the heart of the Otaniemi campus and forms part of the long and recognizable campus view towards the Alvar Aalto-designed Undergraduate Center.

艺术家的创作灵感来自于海浪反射到建筑和景观上时产生的光影效果。

The artist’s approach is inspired by the effects of light produced in interaction with the sea waves reflected on architecture and the landscape.

Kide大楼位于毗邻大海的十字路口旁，这处行人、汽车、有轨电车交汇的重要中心通道激发了艺术家Baptiste Debombourg在此创造具有互动感的装置的灵感。不同的动态、不同的速度和不同的运动场域让艺术家选择了一种能够激活光线的材料，并通过起伏的“地形”来突出主题。这件公共艺术作品就像一扇窗户，在光与运动之间打开了一个新的抽象化的视角。

The important position of the building at a crossroads – a central passage of pedestrians, cars, trams and the vicinity of the sea – inspired him to create a logic of these interactions. The different dynamics, different speeds, and places of movement led him to choose a material that activates light and brings forward the theme through an undulating ‘topography’. The work functions like a window that opens onto a new abstract perspective between light and movement.

作品采用的是表面略有起伏的镜面抛光不锈钢。这是一种非常耐磨且不会生锈的材料，可承受0度以下的温度。起伏的镜面抛光不锈钢将为这件公共艺术装置带来动感和活力。

The mirror-polished stainless steel – slightly undulated – is a very resistant material that does not rust and withstands temperatures bellow 0. The artwork is installed at a distance of 30mm from the wall. The undulated mirror-polished stainless steel will introduce movement and dynamism to the installation.

通过镜面不锈钢的反射，作品周边的景观和运动将被放大，从而吸引人们的视线并进一步激发人们的思考。这件装置作品将有助于路过的人们打开新的视角，对于有轨电车上的乘客来说也是如此。根据光线的强弱，“In motion”公共艺术装置可以营造出不同的氛围，甚至在一般的较暗环境中也能完美地发挥作用。

By nature of its reflections, the landscape and movements will be amplified and attract the eye, stimulating contemplation and opening new perspectives – also for passengers in trams. It offers different types of atmospheres, depending on the intensity of the light, and works perfectly in average darkness.

装置的外部造型采用了一楼窗户的结构，仿佛是从窗户中流淌出的不间断的液体，最终侵占了整个空间。而内部则代表了飞溅的浪花，以其动感的姿态欢迎游客的到来。

The exterior shape takes up the structure of the windows of the 1st floor, from which an uninterrupted liquid flows, which ends up invading the space; while the interior represents a splash of a wave and welcomes the visitor with its movement.

该装置为建筑带来了新的视角，在尊重建筑结构的基础上强化了入口空间，同时也成为过路行人的重要地标。

The installation brings a new perspective to the building and materializes the entrance, while respecting its architecture and becoming a landmark for passers-by.
