SUPERFLEX's Vertical Migration installation will be featured among an array of large-scale installations in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, as part of the Noor Riyadh light festival. The festival runs until December 16, showcasing 120 public installations across 5 hubs in Riyadh.
Displayed on a building within the King Abdullah Financial District, Vertical Migration offers a close encounter with a siphonophore, a jellyfish-like organism entirely distinct from humans. As sea levels rise, humanity is projected to also undertake vertical migration in the forthcoming centuries, relocating to higher grounds and elevated structures. The narrative of the siphonophore mirrors our own impending journey.
Vertical Migration was developed in close collaboration with Kollision and co-commissioned by @art2030org and @tba21academy.
