“Volume”, a site specific installation created for the Day For Night Festival (Houston, TX) is the largest installation to date by french/japanese duo Nonotak.Comprised of 18,000 sq feet of scaffolding, 100 lights, 12 speakers and 6 subs, the installation both outlines and transcends the architecture of the warehouse it is enclosed in. Using shadows as a raw material, it succeeds in giving the audience a sense of immensity and awe, but also a feeling of unhinged transience, as if physical space was in a state of constant metamorphosis.
