Went to REDCAT for the film duo, Obojoca's Extinction Burst Rehearsal program the other night. While standing outside to get tickets at their box office, I was confronted with The Broad all lit up from low angles, cutting into the edges of Diller Scofidio + Renfro's architectural design. The lines of the building are accentuated by the light approaching the building. In contrast, the REDCAT's signature neon "marquee of curvilinear stainless steel"designed by Frank Gehry has a glow the illuminates outward rather than inwards. The vivid neon bounces off the back of the stainless steel curvatures and the light fixtures themselves are "boundless" in a way. These strange shapes of light and design hung over me in a cloudless night. Completely black in the sky with all of the city lights to compete for our attention.
Nice image and a great contrast in look. Please make sure to include how it made you feel/what impact it has.
