Corallium
Overview
A family of screen-based pieces for a marine life institute on the Red Sea — corals, coastlines and currents made for tables, lift shafts and hangar doors.
Corallium is the marine life institute at Triple Bay, AMAALA, on Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea coast — a research and visitor centre designed by Foster + Partners. Its exhibition uses displays that are anything but standard, each with its own canvas and its own way of being looked at.
The pieces shown here were made for four of them: coral specimens turning slowly on black for the CoralLab displays, a relief of the Red Sea region composed for a circular table, an ascent through the reef for a vertical screen, and an interface layer for the submarine hangar door.

CoralLab
Ambient loops for the lab displays: one specimen per screen, isolated on black, lit so the structure of the colony reads from across the room.
Red Sea Table
A relief of the Arabian Peninsula and the Red Sea, composed inside a circle for a round projection table: by day, by night and under changing light.
Elevator & Hangar Door
Two pieces tied to movement through the building: a vertical ride up the reef, and the information layer that frames the submarine bay.
