The project
In Frames & Shadows, Archicercle experiments with pieces associated with client projects. The exercise considers the cut-out pattern and its shadow as two expressions of the same geometry: one defined by the object, the other projected onto the surrounding surface.
The studio’s documented contribution is this exploration using pieces from its projects. Under a shared title, three posts bring together different relationships between cut-out patterns, supporting planes and shadows, without identifying the original commissions or their final applications.
One piece consists of a brown panel with an irregular, organic-looking cut-out. Light passes through the openings and casts the pattern onto the base, where the outline of the shadow can be read alongside that of the panel itself.
The other views feature two planes arranged at an angle and oval or circular motifs. The contrast between lit areas and shadows makes the pattern visible beyond the physical outline of the piece. Together, they form an experimental exercise focused on the relationship between an object and its projection.
