Saw his exhibition yesterday at the Martin Gropius Bau. The way the installations worked with the exhibition spaces was really powerful. It's impossible to distil any of the installations to a single image, as they're all about movement either of light, or of people through spaces. Anyway shown here: the mirror atrium space and the dancing water hose, which i both found really moving.
The mirrors that extended diagonally to the corners of the roof windows, made a space where you walk surrounded by the ceiling. The mirrors had the other effect of blocking out light to the rest of the foyer space. You walk through the darkened scaffolding complex supporting the mirrors to enter the room. Very dramatic.
The water pendulum was set up as a hose spraying water lit only by a strobe light in a room totally darkened by black curtains and a black sponge floor. The water pressure forces the hose to dance. Its movements and the water drops are frozen by the strobe light. You feel like you're being drawn nearer by its beauty but fear getting wet.
