Ιρις (iris)

The inner surface of the installation is traversed by hot and cold air flows, which heat and cool the liquid crystals. This change in temperature physically intervenes at the structural level of the material, modifying the arrangement of the molecules, thus creating the colour shifts. The changing colours then become traces of the air itself, visualising flows of heat and cold invisible to the naked eye.

As the greek Greek goddess and messenger of the gods Iris, who, descending from Mount Olympus to bring a message to earth, left rainbows as a sign of her passage, Ιρις reveals in her ever changing colours the traces of the changing air fluxes that invest the installation.
