Documentary Film



The video emphasizes the alternation of empty and full space and the interaction of light as it changes depending on where the user is in the spa complex. The computer-generated model allows the viewer to see the complex as a composed unit of 15 or so solid shapes of different sizes. The monochromatic grey of the stone and the light reflecting on the water contrast nicely to produce a relaxing space. The video showcases how the simple elements of water, stone, and light on skin produce infinite combinations and experiences. The users' senses are stimulated by the various factors such as acoustic effects, the surfaces of smooth rock and grass, shades of light and dark, and differing temperatures.
