The primary room has Three faln sculptures manufactured from black metal lined with powder, inexperienced patinated bronze and large chrome steel tubes just like the mirror. Right here “pure” and “created by man” really feel as if they’re trapped in the midst of the battle in a three-dimensional tug, it’s not clear what materials evolves or turns into the opposite. Suspended from the ceiling to levitate in department -like buildings, chrome steel pipes maintain shiny two -sided watches of their interiors. The mirrored surfaces bend the reflection of the “branches” from the surface, however they multiply in an infinity of duplications on the within – the clock actions multiply, the instructions and are visually liquidated.

The very best work, entitled “Materials trigger“It reaches nearly 22 meters excessive, pushing past the primary ceiling of the gallery in one of many lights, as if it had been at the moment rising in its momentary house.

Solely on the second go to (and alone), probably the most magical parts of the exhibition grew to become apparent … and clearly noticed: sound. The massive reflective watches within the first room aren’t solely synchronized by the point of the day, however they’re synchronized with one another – to milliseconds. It’s an impact and energy that leads to a exact “tick” between the three watches each second. Right here, time is each caught and universally true. And as soon as you might be acclimated to the tick sound, the second room feels visibly silent. The glass works have the same motion of the clock, however they don’t have any sound, inviting the expertise of the weighted silence within the march of time.
