Realization: Praha, 2023
The project, titled Market on Wheels, featured a detailed architectural model of the Holešovice Market area installed inside an electric vehicle and exhibited at various locations across Prague. The model was created by students from Berliner Hochschule für Technik and formed the central element of the installation.
The lighting concept was designed to simulate the natural movement of sunlight throughout the day, creating a dynamic relationship between light, time, and spatial perception. Subtle shifts in color temperature and direction reflected changing daylight conditions and influenced how the model was perceived over time.
As evening approached, the exterior light was gradually reduced, transitioning the focus towards the interior of the model. The structure began to glow from within, with light escaping through windows, suggesting the presence of life inside the space.
The installation required a flexible and precisely controlled lighting system. All lighting states and transitions were programmed via DMX, enabling smooth changes in intensity, color, and timing throughout the day.
