Penetration
bespoke
The concept of penetration appears across many disciplines — as a physical force breaking through material, as light piercing darkness, or as a coating seeping deep into a surface. In this installation, Salansky Studio explores how glass and light can penetrate space, transforming the environment around them.
Culture is surging to the surface!
The sculpture PENETRATION 2021, created especially for the Liberec Castle, was intended as a breakthrough of energy that is rushing towards the surface. Our eyes tell us that it is frozen in time but the ears can almost hear the shattering of the bedrock and the clink of crystallising glass. The object brings together local materials within geology and history – the refined and raw masses of local Liberec granite and the icy crystal rods of glass that are intrinsically tied to the region.
Thus, a place to meet, encounter, rest, stop and contemplate comes to life.
