@ Tessie Violoa agree, but please look up what vantablack actually is- it can’t be applied in this matter haha.
All of the local adverts have advertised this as a black vortex in the ground. It wasn’t until I found this article and SAW it in real life that I realized they were absolutely full of s..t.
It loses a lot of it’s charm without the dye.
If I wanted to see a giant vortex I would just stick my eyeballs down my drain post bath.
The comparison between the vortex and the river is a moot point because you can’t see the river while at the vortex.
It seems like NYC got shafted in their installation of this piece.
Maybe Kapoor didn’t want to waste his precious vantablack on us?
