As soon as I got back to London I wanted, even before catching up on sleep, to go see some famous-name art. What better than the sky mirrors by Anish Kapoor in Kensington Gardens?
The one in the Round Pond is called Sky Mirror, Red -
Non-object (Spire) reflects a part of itself -
Sky Mirror is reflect in the water below, and transforms itself all the time. The reflected sky seems to be expanding as you watch -
Perhaps the most intriguing is C-Curve -- there's nothing quite like seeing yourself reflected -
... or distorted, or upside-down --
I was intrigued by the way the plinth carried on - or didn't - in the reflection, in various views.Turning the World Upside Down is reflecting seasonal changes till 13 March 2011.
love the sky mirror...
ReplyDeleteThank you for showcasing this exhibition Margaret. We are spending a weekend in London in November so I shall make a note to try and see this. We have one of Anish Kapoor's sky mirrors in Nottingham and it is amazing.
