RAWVISION studio photography / The BananaIn concept store in West Bund Gate M / Shanghai
If we have to use one word to describe these images, we would choose ”rhythm“.
This entrance installation of Banana In is essentially a design with an extremely clear structure. Several slender columns support the circular cantilever, the top is covered with a uniform panel, and the light strip is embedded in it. The composition has been ”set up“ for us. But the more regular the structure, the more time we need to spend to ”break“ it. This set of structures is not only a design installation, it actually serves as the ”starting point“ of a space. It is not static. At around 4 o’clock in the afternoon, the sun shone obliquely into the circular installation, the screen lit up, the yellow belt reflected light, and the flow of people began to gather - at that moment the structure was ”alive“, and our lens became sensitive.Sometimes we would deliberately slow down the shutter speed to capture the sense of speed of people walking through the structure;
Sometimes we would step back far enough to capture the moment when the ring ”fits“ with the city geometry.
Other times, we didn‘t take pictures of the structure at all, but of a child, a dog, or a passerby turning his head next to the structure. When the structure was not yet completed, the welding was not yet completed, and the wires of the screen were still exposed. Those pictures may not be widely used, but for us, they record a moment when the design was ”happening“. It is very different from the completed photos, but just as important.
