Black Water Whirlpool by Anish Kapoor
The Head Magician of contemporary arts Anish Kapoor recently revealed his new installation during the Kochi-Muziris Biennale in India, his birthplace.
Unexpectedly set into the gallery floor is a large, seemingly endless hole. In it, a vortex of black water perpetually froths and churns. The whirlpool alters the form, or skin, of the water creating a fury of liquid that invades the walls of the gallery. Descension was on view in a corner room at the Aspinwall House in Fort Kochi, a meaningful location because the room opens to views of a peaceful sea that creates a striking contrast to the powerful whirling vortex.
