With “Lighthouse”, Italian artist Agostino Iacurci c/o 2AGENTEN conceived a striking series of window installations for Hermès Hong Kong, turning the façade into an imaginative gateway to a surreal aquatic world. Drawing inspiration from the mysteries of the ocean, the work brings together dreamlike structures, submerged temples, vivid coral forms, and drifting sea creatures.
“Lighthouse is a series of window displays created for Hermès, transforming the storefront into a portal to an imaginary underwater world. Inspired by the depths of the sea, the project combines fantastical architectures, sunken temples, corals, and floating marine creatures. Geometric and stylized forms evoke ancient ruins reinterpreted through a contemporary lens, creating a dialogue between myth and vision. Vibrant colors — coral reds, deep blues, golden yellows, and emerald greens — interact with transparencies and reflections, giving life to poetic, immersive scenes. Light plays a central role throughout: it travels across the landscapes, refracts through the elements, and reveals hidden details, guiding the gaze like a lighthouse in the depths." Agostino Iacurci
Agostino Iacurci (b. 1986) studied Fine Arts at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Rome. His artistic practice spans painting, mural work, sculpture, illustration, and installation. Often guided by a site-specific approach, Iacurci gathers and reworks diverse materials to create images and visions that freely weave together cultural history, personal memories, literary references, and vernacular narratives.
