Haeckerville | Seed Temple: A Fluffy Box of 60,000 Fiber Optic Rods

A cubic volume with sixty thousand transparent acrylic rods, each about 7.5 meters long, extending outwards from its surface, making the whole appear like a giant fluff or dandelion, with a soft and uncertain outline. The tip of each rod encloses a real plant seed. During the day, sunlight is guided indoors through the rods, creating sixty thousand suspended points of light and seeds in the dim interior; at night, the other end of the rods is illuminated from within, turning the entire building into a glowing fluff. The rods sway slightly with the wind, causing the volume to constantly tremble gently. The surroundings are a clean, wood-grain paved plaza. Shot during the day, the density of the rods and the blurred edge of the volume are simultaneously visible. Avoid: rods fixed and motionless, surface made into a solid shell, bright interior, no seeds at the tips.

一個立方體的量體,表面向外伸出六萬根長約七點五公尺的透明壓克力細桿,整體看起來像一團巨大的絨毛或蒲公英,輪廓柔軟而不確定。每一根桿的尖端封著一顆真實的植物種子,白天陽光經由桿身導入室內,在昏暗的內部形成六萬個懸浮的光點與種子;夜間桿的另一端由內部照明,整棟建築成為一團發光的絨毛。桿子隨風輕微擺動,量體因此永遠在微微顫動。周圍為簡潔的木紋鋪面廣場。日間拍攝,桿子的密度與量體邊緣的模糊同時可見。避免:桿子固定不動、表面做成實體外殼、內部明亮、尖端不放種子。
