2019年12月22日，由启皓文化基金会委约Crossboundaries建筑事务所创作的艺术装置作品“千江月”与“万里天” 正式亮相启皓客厅。该组装置是向启皓文化即将上新佳作《卢浮宫的幕布之后》的一种“艺术折射”与文化致敬。

“Thousand Moons”and “Cloudless sky”are two sister installations situated in the lobby that connects two Genesis towers in downtown Beijing. Commissioned by the Genesis Cultural Foundation, the installations are intended to promote the foundation’s upcoming book ” Dans les coulisses du musée du Louvre “.

这两件作品以相同的材料制成，灵感来源于同一思想的两种不同观点–一个是由实面围合而成的金字塔，另一个则是借助”空“形成金字塔形状。一虚一实。

Executed in the same material, the two pieces represent the two different takes on the same idea – the one of pyramidal void symbolizing the Louvre as the subject that is being described but resides elsewhere.

南侧入口的装置名为“千江月”（尺寸：1m x 1m x 0.7m），灵感来源于宋 《普灯录》之中一首十分有名的偈语：千山同一月，万户尽皆春。千江有水千江月，万里无云万里天。

The installation at the south entrance is called the Moon Mirage- a name inspired by Buddhist chant Jiatai Pudenglu from Southern Song Dynasty: A thousand streams mirror a thousand reflections of the moon on high; myriad miles of cloudless blue reveal myriad miles of the majestic sky.

“千江月“”利用倒金字塔型呈现多棱角反射启皓大堂层次丰富的天花景象，呼应启皓集团开放多元化的文化氛围。作品巧妙重组了现代装置材料，以通体镜面解构并呈现了空间。在作品所反馈的纷杂镜像关系中，原有空间的立柱、曲面造型、天幕穹顶、玻璃幕墙等建筑精要得到了再度反馈，更将原空间的灵动、雅致进行再次诠释衍射。

As you approach the mysterious brushed steel box, an inverted bottomless pyramid is revealed inside. The pyramid surface is reflecting the ceiling above, triangulated and transparent, much like the Louvre’s pyramid skin. As you move further the reflection’s regular geometry gives way to other, less defined shapes and colors, almost as if melting into an impressionist painting. The experience is reminiscent of the Louvre but at the same time highly subjective.

置于北侧入口的另一个装置名为“万里天”（尺寸：1m x 1m x 2.2m），镜面侧板倒映出人来人往纷杂的镜像，而不变的是中间这个由”空”围合而成的金字塔型。与作品<千江月> 两相呼应：一个是由实面围合而成的金字塔，另一个则是借助”空“形成金字塔形状。一虚一实。外星探测器本身的造型和周围的景观形成了十分特别的对比。装置玻璃墙体映照出熙熙攘攘川流不息的过路者，每个生命则更为镜面中所反射的景象增添了动感和变化。视觉本身带来一种思考，而参观者倘徉其中，也会对真实与幻象产生思索。

装置玻璃墙体映照出熙熙攘攘川流不息的过路者，每个生命则更为镜面中所反射的景象增添了动感和变化。视觉本身带来一种思考，而参观者倘徉其中，也会对真实与幻象产生思索。

In contrast with the “Moon Mirage”, the “Cloudless Sky”- piece placed on the north entrance directs the reflection toward the dynamic viewer and the surrounding, contrasting it with the motionless central void which remains unaffected by the precarious environment. The central void, a pyramidal shape defined by its thin outlines, represents the timelessness of great values. The great values, like the majestic sky, can only be seen when the mundane distractions are filtered out by the viewer. Thus, myriad miles of cloudless blue reveal myriad miles of the majestic sky.

如果说，镜面营造出的倒影世界充满思考与禅意，那么镜面以外心灵空间，则是我们最关心的。“庄生晓梦迷蝴蝶”，奔波于城市当中，游走镜面内外，找到属于自己的心灵空间，了解自己，爱自己。

每个空间都有自己的能量和气息，启皓客厅本身就是一个开放的公共空间，它带来的感知是细腻、持续一种温润感。Crossboundaries无论建筑还是装置都首要考虑环境与人的关系。无论从材料运用到空间构造，都表达出了城市公共空间的特性。希望这个装置可以重新分解周围的建筑物和景观，为繁杂的城市带来超现实的艺术美感。另一方面,它反射着周围的环境与光影，与路过者产生互动，让观者产生困惑，引人深思。这次设计，期待就是要在人与空间中建立一个紧密联系，通过这个装置引发人们更多的关注与思考。

The two installations are both compatible and antonymous, both contemplating perception of emptiness but one an enclosed mystery box that draws you close and points your gaze to the sky and other a kaleidoscopic illusion that follows you as you move keeping the void at its base perfectly still and ever-present.

Crossboundaries’ ventures into the world of installations is always an attempt to engage with the context, giving commentary or a new outlook of the space in which it’s placed or inviting people to immerse in an amplified perception of the surrounding and of themselves.

In the case of the already vivid and domesticated public space of the Genesis towers lobby, often referred as “the living room”, the reflections direct your attention to the parts of space that you might have not noticed before, but it also gives you a chance to quickly glance at your reflection on the way to the office, enjoy more sunlight while drinking your coffee in the lounge area or engage in conversation with someone that has also stopped to look at the new object in your common surrounding.

The opportunity for an architecture studio to test the possibilities of small scale element such as installation gives us another perspective of the power of simple materials and forms that can become a strong device for fostering interactions within a space and broaden its intended use. The installation is open to public since December 22nd to end of March 2020.

The highly reflective steel and the clean geometric forms of both installations elegantly relate to the space of the lobby which is also based on symmetry, architectural order and plenty of daylight that enters through triangulated glass ceiling and curtain wall envelope. It is exactly these reflections of surrounding space that both pieces rely on in order for their symbolic intentions to be complete. This relationship with the surrounding space that gets deconstructed and reinterpreted through the installations makes them site specific in a very architectural sense, despite their pure and abstract form. The dynamics between the pieces and the surrounding extends on the users of the space: depending on where you approach from and in which hour of the day, the reflection you see changes and allows for more than one experience – an important trait for the space where most users pass through the lobby every day on their way to work.
