| Description: |
The work shares not only Sol Aris's
death-identification
but also his cosmic perspective and obsession with power.
The viewer is drawn by the
essential identity
of the prototype into
the world of measure when calculating long periods of time.
The spectator is drawn by the
extraordinarily refined aesthetic sensibility
of the work into
the world of similitude of night and day.
The
endless
curves
are
intertwined
in a tribute to
neo-impressionism.
``Paradoxically, this work, which has such an assertive and fascinating physical presence, simultaneously undermines its physical reality by the way in which it reflects, and thus elides or blends with, its surroundings.'' [Tate Gallery Guide, 1990, p.262] |
