Alicja Kwade’s ‘WeltenLinie’ installation at the Hayward Gallery explores different visualising illusive techniques combining various materials such as numerous metals and other rigid, coloured objects. I found this piece engaging due to the minimalist approach to its execution but the as you made your way around the installation the various reflections from different objects created depth.  Narcissus Garden by Yayoi Kusama displays simplicity through a sea of silver  reflective orbs. Yayoi Kusama explains that this installation is to signify ‘infinity, self-obliteration, and compulsive repetition in objects and forms’. This particular installation conveyed the idea that there is a wider concept of thought behind an abject that is portrayed as very minimal which I feel can be translated into my work.

Throughout the shape shifters exhibition, the installations that featured were constantly testing the idea of architectural complexity, particularly looking at Monika Sosnowska’s work Sosnowska begins by posing as part of the gallery then works its way into creating an oversized piece suspended on the wall. The use of existing building features meant that the final outcome was unexpected with the sole focus of the installation is the individuals investigation into the contrast of the structure of the building.
