RP3 is a rectangular kinetic sculpture comprised of two large sheets of plastic between which a light source is fixed. The structure will continuously arc from a horizontal position to an upright position. Reaching beyond its constraints as a structure RP3 employs light to extend the works spatial dimensions as it scans the plaza in a curved trajectory. This is a chance to see RP3 for the first time in London and to view the Economist Plaza in a new light as the sculpture explores, guiding the eye as it slowly scans the space. |
| Rackowe is well known for using kinetic elements that literally challenge the constraints of architecture. The dynamic interactive relationship that RP3 proposes asks us to address the ideas Rackowe explores; the absolutes of the built environment, the area between the real and the unreal, and if it is possible to be between the two points of known and unknown. |
