About the Artwork

Turkish designer and artist Melek Zeynep Bulut presents ‘Duo’ for London Design Festival 2024, a suspended installation in the Painted Hall exploring the concepts of duality and interaction.

A rectangular prism, its minimal design redolent of ancient forms, evokes a sense of psychological closeness; while an interconnected mechanical system of magnets and sensors induces a delicate balance and rhythmic harmony. The installation blurs the boundaries of design and space, presenting a multi-sensory journey that fully reveals itself with the viewer’s interaction – the human presence altering the work’s spatial motion and rhythm. At its core, ‘Duo’ encapsulates the essence of ‘two’: a dialogue, an agreement, and the dynamic interplay between both centre and periphery.
