Korean artist Koo Jeong-A has created a glow in the dark full scale skatepark, which is installed on the public terrace adjacent to The Tower. The skating bowls are painted with fluorescent paint that illuminates the entire structure at night, creating different light conditions. The work is based on the idea of play and performativity and essential elements of contemporary culture, and the skatepark is an evidence of what it means to play with a specific intention and very real skills. Skating is also a choreography in space, with its own speed and movements. Skaters’ bodies achieve remarkable positions of balance, endeavour and endurance and are offering radical new perspectives in the experience of architectural space as we know it.
