Viva

Viva

vivacity

noun
1. (especially in a woman) the quality of being attractively lively and animated.

“he was struck by her vivacity, humour and charm”

The ‘vivacity’ is the building blocks of the colour life, patterns and colour rule the roost here. Viva’s lattice structure attempts to blend into the festival with its specially formulated camouflage, however this has almost the opposite effect creating a chaotic formation and aesthetic which separates itself from any of its surroundings. Sporadic patterns which lead you on a wild goose chase cover the entire installation, adding to the general confusion of all. Night or day ‘Viva’ will accommodate to all that wish to partake in her presence; sitting, standing, jumping viva is a open platform for social activity. During the night time illumination will pierce out of every orifice possible to show herself off.

This was a proposal for an installation at Secret Garden Party Festival 2015.
