Man and nature battle in Rivane Neuenschwander's temporary installation, says Oliver Basciano

摘要

Rivane Neuenschwander's Suspension Point -a large-scale architectural alteration of South London Gallery that involves the installation of a temporary wood structure that divides the space horizontally into two floors - leads the viewer on a theoretical narrative back to the artist's home country of Brazil. It's Raining Out There (La for a esta chovendo), a sound recording of raindrops hitting metal, fills the darkened lower floor. Two video projections can be seen through the forest of the installation's supporting beams. Inventory of Small Deaths (Blow) (2000) tracks a large bubble as it makes its way across a tropical landscape, seemingly never bursting. Arabian Moons (2008) consists of a film projection in which each blank frame has been perforated with a small hole.
