Light Through Chain Mail

Light goes through an industrial material, such as the chain link, to produce a very special effect. The installation of the Korean artist Soo Sunny Park consists of chain links suspended from the wall and ceiling, which has little pieces of plexiglas hanging from the gaps. Natural and man-made light goes through them, creating multi-colored hues throughout the room.  The sculpture, called Unwoven light, is divided in 37 sections, arranged in such a way, so as to exploit the light’s abilities.
