You may have heard about the latest installation at Tate Modern in London by Miroslaw Balka, called How it is. It’s been there since October last year and – like every major installation in the Turbine Hall – it’s been covered by most mainstream UK media already. I only managed to see it for the first time yesterday.
It’s an epic ’sculpture’, which in fact is a very tall metal cube, accessible via a ramp in the Turbine Hall. Once inside you’re confronted with darkness and your senses need to readjust to the environment, which I guess is part of the experience.
The other part is probably more fun – you just stand there watching other people enter the dark chamber and observing their reactions.
While probably not as spectacular as the big sun or the slides a few years ago, the installation is probably worth a visit if you’re in the area.
It’s there until early April, so there’s plenty of time to visit Tate Modern. Otherwise, here are my pictures from yesterday:
