Public Art Sculpture Mirage / Paul Raff Studio艺术雕塑的幻影/Paul Raff 摄影室
Internationally acclaimed artist and architect Paul Raff just unveiled a permanent sculpture at the opening of the Waterfront Toronto Underpass Park on August 2. Suspended overhead of pedestrians, large scale mirror-like surfaces create an illusory appearance, which bends light rays to produce a displaced image much like a mirage. More images and architects’ description after the break. 8月2日，国际知名艺术家兼建筑师Paul Raff 刚刚在多伦多滨海的路桥下公园揭幕了一个永久性雕塑。吊在头顶的步行街，大尺寸玻璃幕表皮通过扭曲光线来呈现像幻境一样的替换图像，创造了一个虚幻的外观。更多的图像和建筑出现在这里面。
The mirage is made up of 57 reflective polished stainless steel panels fastened to the underside of the overpass. Art and architecture critic John Bentley Mays describes, “the result [is] a shifting of semi-abstract imagery gathering from earth and sky, from darkness and light, all of it hovering like a shining cloud over the heads of passerby.”
这个幻境由57块栓在天桥下面的能反射的光滑不锈钢板组成。建筑艺术批评家John Bentley描述道：“这是一个集地面和天空、黑暗和光线的半抽象图像的变幻物体，所有事物像漂浮在行人头上的云彩。”
One of Toronto’s most innovative urban parks, Underpass Park, is a two and a half acre mixed-use space tucked beneath the Eastern Avenue ramps. The most extensive park built under an overpass in Canada, was designed by Vancouver-based landscape architects Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg. This new Waterfront Toronto park transforms the West Donlands neighborhood into a socially engaging space with its avant-garden public art, recreational areas, and contemporary green space. 路桥下公园作为多伦多最有创新性的城市公园之一，是位于东林荫道占地2.5英亩混合用地。这个立交桥下加拿大最大的公园，是由来自北美范库弗峰的园林景观设计师Phillips Farevaag Smallenberg设计。这个新海滨公园用它的园林艺术、娱乐区和现代绿色空间使西Dondlands地区变成了令人心驰神往的地方。
