zeros sways to spy’s hypnotic choreography in beijing, china

 

A hypnotic choreography of nine colossal inner tubes dwarfs visitors in SpY’s latest kinetic installation, ZEROS. Following the unveiling of his previous large-scale artwork Blankets in Chengdu, China, the Spanish artist takes to the Times Art Museum in Beijing, suspending a series of vast black volumes that gently undulate amid a red glow and engulf observers into constrained viewpoints and navigation patterns. The solemn motions of the piece evoke the image of an enormous animal that shifts ponderously, in a visual and spatial experience dominated by the intense contrast of the block shapes against the harsh light.
