ICARUS A340 is an interactive light installation built from two original windows of a decommissioned Airbus A340. Installed opposite one another with an aircraft seat positioned between them, the work recreates the spatial arrangement of air travel. From a distance, both windows function as mirrors, reflecting the viewer and the surrounding space. As the viewer approaches, the reflections gradually dissolve: one window reveals the sun, the other the sea. The intensity of the backlight changes in response to movement, causing the images to appear and disappear with proximity.
Rather than presenting a fixed image, the installation unfolds through the viewer's movement. Reflection, light and photography continuously alternate between visibility and concealment, transforming the aircraft window from a device of looking into an image that responds to presence.
