BREGUET Commissioned artwork

Breguet Tradition — Movement
Audiovisual installation

Movement is a commissioned audiovisual artworkcreated for the Breguet Tradition showcase.
Interpreting Tradition's intricate, exposed movement through light and sound, it unfolds the passage of time within a space.

〈Movement〉

The showcase took place at STRX House. In the basement, Movement unfolded through light and sound.

The exposed movement,
translated into space.

Tradition's exposed structure became the starting point for a space of moving light and sound.

Interpreting structure

A frame that opens up space

With the structure itself exposed,
a space reduced to its framework

Interpreting movement

The rhythm of light and sound

Through flowing light and sound,
time unfolds in space

Structure and reflection create
the depth of light

Vertical light is arranged in an open frame, with reflections extending its depth.

STRX House basement space

Media room: approx. 11.9 × 7.5 m · Ceiling height on plan: 3 m

The artwork sits centrally across the width, slightly behind the room's midpoint.

Actual installation · The artwork extended by a reflective floor

Through light's speed and density,
composing the movement of time.

The pulses and flow of the vertical LEDs were coordinated with sound.

The flow of light viewed in front of the vertical LEDs

We exposed the structure and expressed time through the movement of light and sound.

Reflections and symmetry viewed from the front

An original score,
light synchronized frame by frame

We composed music inspired by the watch movement and aligned light and sound on a shared timeline.

From concept to simulation,
then to the installation.

01
Spatial and structural concept
We review the exposed framework and reflective floor through mockups.
02
Creating light patterns
We compose speed, density and scene transitions within the grid of light.
03
Structure fabrication and installation
The frames and LEDs take shape in the actual space.
