Project: Almost Amusing - Rainbow

“Almost Amusing: Rainbow is a mobile rainbow installation whereby natural and organic items are used to reveal a hidden image of our reality for a single moment. It is an ongoing miracle, a playful optical trick, a magic show up and a public illusion. Water will be blown up in the air with one button – the way the whales blow it up. The water falls down and some of it gets back into a container, and from there it is re-used to create following rainbows. The device will be mobile together with the whole exhibition. Almost Amusing: Rainbow is a mobile installation for creating an urban rainboe, travelling with THE KNOT through its various locations.
