porcelain

This installation consisted of hundreds of tiny porcelain elements which visitors were invited to touch and rearrange. The delicacy of the porcelain created a tension between wanting to touch and a fear of breakage. The objects were placed near the floor to suggest a sense of child’s play. Viewers could see themselves reflected as giants looming over the landscape.
