MÖBIUS in Melbourne

For any fans of public art and/or timelapse photography, a great collaborative stop motion sculpture was recently animated in Melbourne's Federation Square this past May.

Created by art & design practice ENESS and photographed over a two-week period, the work consists of a moving sculpture of twenty-one dynamic triangles, juxtaposed alongside the timelapse of people interacting with the piece and moving through the public space.

MÖBIUS - Federation Square A collaborative stop motion sculpture Twenty-one large triangles animated by Melbourne, throughout Federation Square. MÖBIUS is a sculpture that can be configured into many cyclical patterns and behave as though it is eating itself, whilst sinking into the ground. The result is an optical illusion and a time-lapse of people interacting with the sculpture and moving through Melbourne's landmark location throughout the day. MÖBIUS was animated over two weeks Friday, Saturday & Sunday between the 6th - 20th of May 2011. Visit ENESS for more: www.eness.com

Just over a minute, is resulting film is pretty amazing.

As recently described in Frame:

As a public art installation that mixes art with technology, MÖBIUS has the ability to be positioned in various patterns and formations. This allows the geometric sculpture to behave as if each piece were dissolving and reforming through the ground and back up again.
