This lighting tree is a tribute of Bauhaus centenary 1919-2019, as one of our main contemporary artistic culture referents. It is named Baum(tree in German)Haus
Feininger´s drawings and Gropius´s texts have turned on a tree made of metallic and crystalline geometries
It is placed on one of the doors of Madrid, an unusual space for this installation. This place is crossed by a road feed by continuous fluxes of vehicles, that arrive and flood from the city at high speed.
Our answer had to show a strong image, as a powerful icon that creates a reference in the place, and even as artistic or sculptural piece that had to acts by day and night.
