Two Hundred and Seventy (black)
2022
A site–specific installtion realized for the exhibition "Sagmeister & Walsh: Beauty" at the Vorarlberg Museum in Bregenz (Austria) running from 9. April until 16. October 2022.
Through the combination of an everyday material with precise technology the mixed media installation fills the whole atrium of the Vorarlberg Museum with its fluid movement and peculiar sound. Concavely arranged and floating above the spectators heads the form of the artwork seems to pass the skylight like the sun's rays.
Subdivided into nine columns, the nearly 70 square meters large piece of art follows a site-specific choreography determined by a program. Its moving surface is made from 270 black garbage bags, being inflated and deflated. In this way shapes and the boundaries of the installation itself start to dissolve.
