Lumitronom is part of the Metronomi series, with which Martin Bricelj Baraga develops modular installations for public space, working according to the principle of perpetual motion and energy transformation. In combinations with natural elements such as light, air and water, he tests the possibilities of infinite movement in repetitive patterns.
Inspired by the repetitive nature of the metronome, the experimental works evoke natural forces as a source of energy that can be transformed into different forms with modern technology. The meditative kinetic installation Lumitronom harnesses the sun’s energy as a primary energy source and transforms it into a moving body of light. Created in collaboration with the Paris-based architectural collective Bellastock, Lumitronom is built from discarded materials and is thus an example of their reuse. The result is a poetic, ambient installation that evokes a flock of birds or the rustling of leaves and captivates the viewer with its unique rhythmic sequences.
The installation LUMITRONOM was also presented in the design exhibition for a Post-Apocalyptic World at the MAO Project Space (18.6.-16.8.2020).
