Sculpture, variable according to the height of the ceiling.
Materials: wood

Collection: Collection M HKA, Antwerp / Collection Flemish Community (Inv. no. UFO_2015_02).

Vadim Fishkin explores the relationship between art and science with photographs, drawings, installations and sculptures. Many of Fishkin's works mimic physical phenomena, attempting to make natural processes, which transcend ordinary perception, measurable and capable of representation, in this way transforming them into something that can be controlled or managed. With cutting, theatrical and at the same time light-hearted humour, Fishkin alludes to technology's futility as metaphor for the absurdity of human desire and ambition.

About M HKA / Mission Statement

The M HKA is a museum for contemporary art, film and visual culture in its widest sense. It is an open place of encounter for art, artists and the public. The M HKA aspires to play a leading role in Flanders and to extend its international profile by building upon Antwerp's avant-garde tradition. The M HKA bridges the relationship between artistic questions and wider societal issues, between the international and the regional, artists and public, tradition and innovation, reflection and presentation. Central here is the museum's collection with its ongoing acquisitions, as well as related areas of management and research.
