UROS 2012
Documentation Video
During the 2011 holiday season, as part of its 10-year anniversary celebrations, tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE presented "Uros" - a lighting sculpture installation by Peruvian artist Grimanesa Amorós. The project was part of a series of works encapsulating the natural elegance of sea foam and totora reeds used for building the floating Uros Islands in Lake Titicaca in Puno, Peru. The artist designed a special sequence of lights within the sculpture to extended its presence in the boutique interior without additional physical materials. tribeca ISSEY MIYAKE held a special press launch event for the artist and the project in December, 2011.
