“Enduring, not ultimate form”: from “Industrieform” to Red Dot (1980 - 1997)
Borealis
BOREALIS uses light and motion to illustrate a journey toward sustainability and collective responsibility. It transitions from serene Northern Lights to an intensified colour-changing display representing active sonar sensors, and culminates in an interactive section where visitors pick up polar bears to trigger melting and burning animations. This narrative explores the nexus between humans and environment, prompting reflection on urgent climate issues.
