Anish Kapoor's endless black whirlpool in Brooklyn. A continuously spiralling funnel of dark water to New York. Sited at pier 1 in Brooklyn bridge park, the installation will create a striking juxtaposition to the adjacent east river, continuing Kapoor’s long-standing interest in the destabilization of the physical world. The infinite spiralling whirlpool is treated with an all-natural black dye, creating a seemingly endless hole, into which visitors are invited to carefully peer. Anish Kapoor’s first realized ‘descension’ for the Kochi-Muziris Biennial in India. Public art fund director Nicholas Baume says ''with descension, he creates an active object that resonates with changes in our understanding and experience of the world. In this way, Kapoor is interested in what we don’t know rather than in what we do, understanding that the limit of perception is also the threshold of human imagination.’ #anishkapoor #vortex #sculpture #concept #landscape #landart #descension #brooklyn #brooklynbridge #newyork #nicholasbaume (at Brooklyn Bridge Park)
