LeBasse Projects, in partnership with Downtown Santa Monica Inc. and the Santa Monica Cultural Affairs office launched ROAM, a series of temporary art installations spanning the Third Street Promenade from Triangle Square to Wilshire Blvd.
Designed by Jen Stark, “Tunnel Vision” is a tunnel of cascading ring shapes that morph shape and color. The front of the sculpture begins as an organic inner shape, which slowly morphs into a circle in the back. From one perspective, the sculpture is colored in a vivid rainbow gradient. The opposite end of the sculpture changes color scheme into black and white, creating an optical illusion and two unique perspectives of the piece. In this revealed element of surprise, viewers are encouraged walk around and interact with the sculpture. The sculpture also provides an oasis for neighbors and visitors to sit, relax and contemplate.
