One person ’s trash is another airy person ’s community fine art project . In this cagey and beautiful repurposing of old CDs , Ignatov Architects has created Mirror Culture , a shimmery entrance to the public park in Varna , Bulgaria . A bunch of used CDs never looked so good .
“ It was my captivation with the free rein of light on fish scales and on liquid surfaces that made me think of a flexible mirror , ” architect Borislav Ignatovtold Slate . “ I earn that the ocular discs use the same principle of refraction and separation of spark as Pisces the Fishes scales and I settle to apply them for the purpose . ”
Aside from just looking pretty , Mirror Culture is also a public art project bringing the community together . The 6,000 atomic number 48 were gathered from the city ’s residents , and 128 volunteers helped attach them to the custom knitted fishing net stretching across the park ’s entrance . Each little disk of Mirror Culture contains some sherd of the life of the city ’s residents reflecting into the sky .
Mirror Culture was installed last summertime . It ’s since been take down — and 500 of the compact disk sell as souvenir — but the rest of the disc remain in storage to be strung up again in a different word form next summertime . [ Ignatov ArchitectsviaSlate ]
