Of Movement and Material

ANALOG x Philipp Weber presents at Alcova Sassetti a debut series entitled “Of Movement and Material”. The installation will feature a cluster of glass elements that are illuminated with video projections and lights. “Of Movement and Material” addresses the way in which the human body and an amorphous substance like glass influence each other. The forms are created through a dance between the maker and the material. The work aims to attain a sense of the human, capturing the emotional quality of the physical movement. It represents the body in a rhythmic play between the restrictive tools and the glass. The bare matter is only enlivened by the moves of the body, and thus, turned into expressive volumes. The result is not only about the form, but about the fascinating movement, during which body and material are unified. 

Philipp Weber joins his concept for “Of Movement and Material” with the philosophy of ANALOG, which is seeking to rethink the relevance of a human quality within products. The project celebrates the launching of the first series of lights for the newly formed brand ANALOG, producing in Berlin’s first and only glass studio.
