Miroslaw Balka has installed his work in the Turbine Hall. You enter in a huge black container. You’re in the dark, with strangers, and you can hardly see anything. The artist invites the viewer in a slow motion dimension. Out of time and space, the waiting begins. Using the title of one of Samuel Beckett’s book, How It Is, the polish artist explores the same themes as the writer. Fear, wait, loneliness, are felt by the viewers during his journey on this particular stage. Drowned in this black void, you stand between the unknown, the darkness and the familiar, yourself. It’s impressive and unexpected. Until April 5th.
