Hundreds of zeros hover above you. Zero is a number that usually describes absence – but here, zeros are an energising presence.
Exhibition Dates: 21 June – 18 September 2022
Zero is a number that usually describes absence – but here, it is an energising presence. The zero-shaped balloons change as helium escapes, and the sculpture gradually descends. The silverings invites us to consider the everyday forces – seen and unseen – that shape us.
