A
vertical yellow girder and a tower of gleaming galvanized
sheet metal, both six meters tall, are erected on an iron
base. Hidden inside the tower is a timer mechanism triggered
automatically and unpredictably. The deafening noise produced
inside the tower by something dropping is the key element
of the work. “Height, gravitational force and acceleration,
fall, noise, crash, pause, silence, silence, new ascent, pause.
And time still continually varied, asynchronous, reversed,
dispersed (…) the broken bell of history,” comments
the artist. She continues: “I use known images only
in order to make them unforeseeable, so that they arouse surprise
and disorientation, dashing all expectations (…) My
work of the last few years is a response to the need to address
the cultural legacy and the present, my personal history and
the collective identity”. |
