About the Work
Thermal.Phase transforms the Pacific Exchange into a living experiment with heat, ice, and light.
Using a physical scale model of the building's distinctive colonnade, the artists work with real materials and optical phenomena, mapping the resulting imagery back onto the architecture itself.
Burning steel wool becomes luminous fields of warmth and motion, while frozen structures fracture, melt, and reveal intricate crystalline patterns. As light travels through these shifting forms, the façade appears to move between states of matter, blurring the boundaries between solid and ephemeral.
Inspired by the elemental contrasts of winter around the world, Thermal.Phase explores the universal relationship between warmth and cold, darkness and illumination. Through real materials and unpredictable optical phenomena, the Pacific Exchange becomes something simultaneously monumental and ephemeral—an architecture suspended between states, where heat, ice, and light continually reshape what appears solid and permanent.
