"An Ideogram in Space Architectural Installation"

The idea stems from the fleeting impression of a speeding train: it is a quest for the abstract notion, for the abstract form as forged by the mind in its effort to make sense of that which is perceived. How would the universal form of a notion be visualized, when constituted as a mental image?

The proposal consists of a structure assuming the function of “an ideogram in space”. It aims at generating, with the least possible means, the symbolic representation of a train in the manner that the mind fundamentally perceives it. It is made out of a space frame of interlocking struts consisting of three similar solids outlined by their pointed edges. The sloping masses and the red color lend intensity to the work. The structure is installed in the immediate vicinity of the train, alluding to its origin by association.
