Un video di sette ore e mezza che ritrae la bellissima e ipnotica ombra di un lampadario ottocentesco, catturandone la silhouette mentre il lampadario ruota dolcemente e le candele bruciano dall'inizio alla fine. I fragili e ipnotizzanti fili di fumo ritraggono il passaggio del tempo, oltre alla tensione tra presenza e assenza, luce e ombra, materiale e immateriale. A seven and a half hour video that portrays the beautiful and hypnotic shadow of a nineteenth-century chandelier, capturing its silhouette while the chandelier rotates gently and the candles burn from start to finish. The fragile and mesmerizing threads of smoke portray the passage of time, in addition to the tension between presence and absence, light and shadow, material and immaterial. JAMESPLUMB is a creative studio in South London, founded by artists James Russell & Hannah Plumb. We make both Objects and Environments. Our Objects include sculptures, furniture, and fine art installations. We exhibit our work site specifically, with galleries, and at fairs internationally. We also work directly with private clients on commissions. Our Environments encompass interior, event, or architectural design, and creative direction. Projects are commercial or residential, and are both permanent or impermanent. A home, a retail space, a one room hotel, a one off event. We work with global brands or with private individuals. Our clients come to us because they want something real, with depth and resonance. We immerse ourselves deeply in our projects, and we offer intense commitment to our clients. Our focus is on authentic actions and experiences of living and being. Not just the surface veneer of aesthetics, but how it will feel to use, and inhabit. For us the distinction between art and design is blurred and interchangeable – both in our own work and in our perception of the world at large. A table becomes an artwork, or a sculpture becomes a chair. An art installation is designed to be inhabited, and an interior design is approached as an artwork. We are artists who conceive, create, and direct work across a wide range of industries and disciplines, but we are less worried about how to define our work, than with what it adds to the sensation of the world around us. Why Milano: Milan holds countless memories for us and we wanted in some small way to say a 'Thank You’ to the city. From our first international solo exhibition - through the many Fuorisalones - to the three months we spent living in Milan during our Residency at Spazio Rossana Orlandi in 2010, we have built up a lasting fondness for the city. And perhaps the biggest legacy - beyond the inarguable impact of design - is that of the human. The lasting friendships that have been formed are a testament to Milan. We look forward to the City bouncing back when this storm has passed, and creating many more memories and friendships in the future.
