Saraceno | Suspended Nets: Layered Aerial Structures

In a high-ceilinged space, several overlapping layers of steel cable nets are suspended, with several meters of height difference between layers. People can climb onto the first layer and then enter a higher layer through an opening in the net. The nets are translucent, so people walking on an upper layer are visible to those below, and the weight of the body causes the net to sag and affects others—everyone's movement is perceived by each other. Inflated transparent spheres are suspended between the nets. The entire work references the structure of spider webs and clouds, rather than any play equipment. Soft natural light falls from above, passing through the layers of nets. Shot from below, looking up, with the layered nets and the silhouettes of people on them clearly visible. Avoid: only making a single layer of net, nets being opaque, adding rigid platforms, people's movements not affecting each other.

在挑高的空間裡懸掛數層彼此重疊的鋼索網,層與層之間有數公尺的落差,人可以爬上第一層,再從網的開口進入更高的一層。網為半透明,因此在上層走動的人會被下層的人看見,身體的重量會讓網下沉並影響其他人——每個人的移動都被彼此感知。網之間懸浮著充氣的透明球體。整件作品的參照是蜘蛛網與雲的結構,而非任何遊具。柔和的天光從上方落下,穿過層層的網。從下方仰拍,層疊的網與其上的人影清楚。避免:只做單層網、網不透光、加設硬質平台、人的移動彼此不影響。
