Suspended by chains and pulleys, the work explores themes of regeneration and decomposition.
Fabric sculptures, called “skins,” are hoisted on metal chains, reminiscent of coal miners’ pulley systems. A large turbine, inspired by the building’s industrial past, rotates slowly, creating a factory atmosphere.
The sound of flowing water adds to the sensory experience. The exhibition will run from October 9, 2024 to March 16, 2025.
