With “Barrier Tape” SpY puts an everyday urban object – commonly used to direct people’s movement – in a different perspective and uses it to create a surprising work of art that invites visitors to interact with the installation. The emphasis is on the interaction between the work and the natural elements surrounding it.
The installation forms a vast, ever-changing surface in which visitors can circle in and around. Hanging from parallel strings and moved by the wind, the ribbons swing together as one, generating a majestic sea-like sound and creating a wave-like movement throughout the composition.

From “Barrier Tape” SpY continues to work on a collection of sculptural installations based on objects from real, everyday life, hypnotic patterns and immersive experiences. With his work he questions urban landscapes, explores cities as playgrounds of imagination and creates immersive experiences in which he makes visitors part of the work.
