6:44 AM HORIZONS mirror seat
6:44 AM HORIZONS is a reflection on human perception of landscapes, with a look towards sky and space. Alcarol’s research on horizons expands by adding an essential element to define the horizon: the sky. There is no horizon without sky, and when we reach the top of the peak, we are one with land and clouds. The mirroring has the same effect: playing and mixing the human figure and human perception of mountains, sky and cosmos.
The reliefs of the verdigris velvet seat derive from three-dimensional files of some areas of the Italian Alps, made more abstract and mixed with other planetary geologies.
The vertical sides are an abstract representation of typical geological stratigraphies of the solar system planets, where the top surface is soft holographic velvet, the lower part is recycled soft polyurethane foam, covered with a thin layer of soft rubber mixed with stone powder and real soils which make the colours and textures always unique and completely organic. This aims to illustrate – through abstraction – how similar the geomorphologies of other planets can be, finally surprising us with an unexpected softness, a completely human pleasure. The work also represents a copper dawn sky, that is the appearance of the particular metallic light – just before sunrise – sometimes pink, purple or coppery, reflected by dark clouds and particles of mist in the atmosphere. The high backrest in mirror polished steel, abstractly depicts a cloudy sky at sunrise, recalling possible scenarios of other planets.
The mirrored cloudy effect is obtained through patination, burnishing and nuanced copper plating which evokes warm pink light components. The horizons are reflected and spread in this unusual atmosphere in which we discover ourselves reflected in an unexpected and dreamy contemplation. The unusual matter is the heart of the product: sometimes it is difficult to recognize the material used, sometimes it seems frozen and suspended in
an infinite moment, sometimes it reveals itself unexpectedly soft.
