ECHO; a series of stainless steel structures created by the Saatchi art artist Husam Chaya, was recently commissioned and installed in Zaryadye Park at the heart of Moscow in time for the Moscow Biennale 2017. Husam’s installation quickly gained notice with visitors sharing photos and snapping selfies amongst the nine two-meter sculptures.
The installation was also part of Moscow Design Week 2017. This Installation was commissioned in conjunction with the Moscow Public Art Fund. Using a ‘Lego-system assembly,’ the installation was assembled in five hours. (See the time-lapse video)
The Installation form an illusory geometric combination of figures. The intent is for visitors to enter another sound dimension once inside its boundaries as sounds change their properties as they echo off the geometric figures, creating an amazing transformation of the human voice. The idea which the installation is centered around is; “Art is the mirror of our days”
