Cristina Iglesias: To the lighthouse
Spanish installation artist and sculptor Cristina Iglesias remakes a lighthouse as a piece of art and tests out her vision of creating the illusion of waves from the sea.
A derelict lighthouse, an island only accessible by boat and the rhythm and sound of water - all these are crucial components in the latest artwork being unveiled this June by the Spanish installation artist and sculptor Cristina Iglesias. She has won international acclaim for her work transforming public spaces and her latest project takes this further by remaking the lighthouse as a sculptural site.
The lighthouse is on St Clara Island, in the area of San Sebastian, Spain, where Cristina was born. She is transforming the interior of the building and adding water to recreate the impression of waves. It is a process that is full of complications with complex engineering and structural logistics.
Reporter Kristina Zorita travels with Cristina by boat to the island for a day to find out how she and a team of specialists work on creating the wave effects. Will the timings of the water sequences work as Cristina has imagined?
