Arles Skatepark

A very interesting bowl up on a rooftop. Looks sick, I hope it is.

- OooOoO, a skatepark by artist Koo Jeong A

"Koo Jeong A has created a glow in the dark full-scale skatepark, which is installed on the public terrace adjacent to The Tower. The skating bowls are painted with phosphorescent paint that illuminates the entire structure at night, creating different light conditions. The work is based on the idea of play and performativity and essential elements of contemporary culture. Skating is also a choreography in space, with its own speed and movements. Skaters’ bodies achieve remarkable positions of balance, endeavour and endurance and offer radical new perspectives in the experience of architectural space as we know it."
