weave of light unravels at beijin 751 drama festival
For the 2023 Beijing 751 Drama Festival, MARS Studio has crafted an immersive spatial art installation that intertwines visual, auditory, and spiritual perceptions. Weave of Light draws inspiration from light and shadow, utilizing lines and surfaces as mediums, and incorporating natural colors from the environment to create a dramatically multidimensional space. Inside the framework, seven different color of linear light sources are interlaced, flickering in a gentle choreography with the flow of rhythm and time as they engulf visitors and evoke various levels of exploration and sensation.

mars studio immerses festival goers in light and color
Weave of Light is sited on the large lawn of the drama festival’s main venue, 751 Power Square, carving and shaping space using the effects of lighting to evoke abstract emotional associations. To complement the site and enclose the outdoor stage for the festival, the team at MARS Studio designed a 15-meter-long rectangular central space, wherein linear elements intersect and intertwine, and permeate and diffuse, creating a hazy and blurred texture.
Through the gradual modulation of brightness, color, and the rhythm of flickering lights, it showcases a vibrant structure brimming with dynamism and melody. The light transcends visual imagination, blurring the boundaries between two-dimensional and three-dimensional realms, offering an interpretation of our understanding of drama.
