The Dual Door is a set of two light sculptures that will be placed in conversation with each other at the lower and upper parts of the Nirox river.

A door, to the duo, represents a choice. “Choice, by nature, requires a person to select one option over another; front or back? Forwards or backwards? Pink or orange? A or B?” By consisting of two opposing colours of light, facing in opposing directions The Dual Door stands as an experience of ‘both and’. It faces both forward and backward. It is both pink and orange. The light it is made of is both a wave and a particle. 

As part of The Power of Site exhibition the duo sought to allow visitors a unified experience of duality. By confounding the traditional conception of binary based decision making they offer the potential for an alternative, harmonised embodied learning.
