La obra consistía en una plataforma elevada a 7.4 metros por encima del nivel del suelo por medio de cables de acero. El suelo en la plataforma era de plywood con un acabado de resina que le daba un efecto reflectivo genial para tomar fotos. De vez en cuando se sentía el movimiento de la plataforma, pero la emoción de fotografiarse en versión doble superó cualquier miedo a las alturas. Y ese era un componente importante de la obra: la participación de la gente y en especial como cada persona se apropiaba de la pieza a su propia manera. Así que me imagino que ni se les ocurrió prohibir que se tomaran fotos. Menos mal.
Taking a jump in time, these pictures are from Hamburg, or specifically from “Horizon field”, an installation by artist Antony Gormley. Located in the “Hälle fur aktuelle Kunst” or Hall for Contemporary art, access to this work was free, once you signed a declaration of abiding all of the artwork’s security rules.
The piece consisted in a platform raised 7.4 meters from above the ground with some steel cables. The platform’s floor was plywood with a resin coating that gave a reflective effect great for taking pictures. Once in a while you felt the platform moving but the excitement of photographing oneself in double was greater than any fear of heights. And that was an important component of the work: the participation by the people and especially how each person would make the piece their own. So I guess that no one even thought of the possibility of not allowing pictures on the installation. Fortunately.
