Susan Lin – Looking Outwards – 1: Snow by Tokujin Yoshioka

by susanlin @ 7:23 pm 11 January 2011

Snow is an installation which uses white feathers and air pressure to simulate the flow of real snow.

This piece intrigues me because of its minimalistic presentation and ability to pose introspection on an everyday encounter. Yoshioka extracts what is beautiful about snow and gives it to the viewer on a silver platter. The way the artist executed this concept is inspiring: Simple and effective.

At first, I thought that the flow of the feathers was affected by the viewer. That would be a worthwhile route to expand a project like this: giving viewers the ability to control an element they would not usually be able to. It would amplify the emotional high from this piece.
