Asli Alin: A Curious Landscape

Located in the Cambridge Art Galleries' Artist Garden (the corner of North Square and Grand Avenue North), A Curious Landscape is a parametric sculptural installation inspired by the structures of honeycombs and crystals, composed of individual polyhedral modules that interlock to form an unexpected topography. This geometric configuration invites viewers to move around it, sparking curiosity and encouraging active engagement. The installation's appearance shifts with the ambient light, creating a dynamic interplay of colours and reflections. Its iridescent surfaces change hue based on viewing angle, enticing the audience to explore the piece from multiple perspectives. During the day, the panels mirror their surroundings, capturing the movements of passersby and integrating them into the composition. As a result, the piece offers an immersive, interactive experience that visually and experientially draws viewers into its environment.
