Point of Action intervenes in public space to re-frame how we see and participate in the dense weave of the city. Installed across the Flatiron Public Plazas from November 2020 to January 2021 (part of the Flatiron Public Plaza Design Installation), the piece consists of nine circular “spotlights” set into the plaza pavement, each framed by vertical metal structures where ropes and lighting form thresholds inviting passersby to step into “the spotlight.”

In Point of Action, scale refuses to stay fixed: a human body passing through a frame shifts between subject and sculpture, the installation reads both as a monumental gesture and an intimate invitation. Representation here is not passive documentation; architecture, light, and human presence merge into ephemeral form. The work thrives in ambiguity — is it art, ritual, social experiment, or spatial choreography?

This project aligns deeply with your visionary notion of Gesamtkunstwerk. It does not merely place objects in space but modulates how bodies, structures, and light converse. Through Point of Action, we see how design can transcend its disciplinary lanes: the installation becomes architecture, sculpture, performance, and gesture at once. It exemplifies a world where form, action, and meaning belong together.
