Shoal from Troika
Posted on 25. Oct, 2010 by Jonathan Cherry in Design
Considering that fish in the sea will soon be something that doesn’t exist anymore – Troika have managed to capture the idea of fish on dry land, so that at least we can all be reminded of what we once had.
Spanning across a 50 meter long corridor, 467 fish-like objects wrapped in iridescent colours and suspended from the ceiling rotate rhythmically around their own axis
to display the movements and interdependency typical to shoal of fish.The ceiling architecture is set in motion and appears liquified changing the spatial experience of the corridor while opening up the surrounding architecture infinitely
towards Lake Ontario.For more information see troika.uk.com/​shoal
Your other option is to stick a pair of goggles on and shove your pip below the waves to see the real thing before it’s too late.
