In the post-modern urban landscape multi-storey car parks exist as ambivalent non-spaces, de-populated monumental structures that are both everywhere and nowhere. However, as darkness falls the concrete pillars, the railings, the ramps and the staircases take on a new significance, illuminated by the eerie glow of fluorescence.
That which often goes unnoticed is made visible, the flickering lights catch in the corner of the eye as shadows jump out at us, bringing an element of magic into the mundane.
This project re-imagines Mozart’s opera set in multi-storey car parks.
