Massive Inflatable Rock Formations by ENESS Light Up for i Light Singapore

This art form typically features bold, weighty stones set amidst open, airy surroundings, highlighting the simple beauty of rocks.

Iwagumi is a Japanese term describing the methodical arrangement of rocks in aquascaping. At the tenth edition of the i Light Singapore art festival in Marina Bay, the art and technology studio ENESS pays tribute to this creative tradition with a significant installation called Iwagumi Air Space.

This impressive work comprises sixteen large rock forms placed in a grassy park, creating the illusion of a massive aquarium within the city. Like marine life, people wander among the rocks, exploring underwater nooks and crannies. Some structures reach up to 13 meters, echoing the upward thrust of nearby city buildings. Despite their rugged appearance, the rocks are lightweight as they are all inflatable.

According to a festival statement, Iwagumi Air Space features an immersive soundscape that includes elements like birds, night frogs, crickets, monkeys, bats, and mountain streams. "As the audience moves through the installation, each rock triggers different sounds, adding to the overall auditory experience." This arrangement temporarily escapes the busy city life into an illuminated wilderness.
