Glitch Monument is a series of new holographic water projections/ light-based sculptures that explore identity through distortion, motion, and light. Developed by Collide Public Art in collaboration with artist Joel Zika, this ambitious new work plays on the importance of monuments and busts in our built environment. Rather than using concrete or stone, these reimagined monuments will bring faces to life using the most ephemeral of materials: water and light.
Glitch Monument is both a reflection on and a disruption of how identity is staged in public space, offering a new kind of monument, one that is luminous, unstable, and alive. The water projections are digitally reconstructed as 3D forms, then warped, fractured, and rendered into glowing projections that ripple, flicker, and dissolve.
At times clearly figurative, at others almost unrecognisable, the works exist in a constant state of transformation—mirroring the unstable and contested nature of identity itself.
