GLOBE
2003
Screen-print on silk threads / steel bars
50 x 50 x 50 cm
This sculpture consists of 12400 white silk threads, partially screen-printed dark blue, weighed down by steel bars. Each thread carries a ‘grain of weight’, little more than 1 gram. This adds up to a total of 2½ stones.
The threads form a dark cube in which a white sphere seems to be floating. It is luminous and non-transparent and looks so solid that people try to touch the mirage.
Here is a video of Globe showing more of the third dimension of the sculpture.
