This installation by emerging Japanese artist Takefumi Ichikawa, involved transparent plastic shapes filled with helium.
Referred to by Ichikawa as ‘ghosts of sculpture’, their fragility was enhanced by the tough interior of this industrial building. They floated almost invisibly, affected by the slightest movement of air, appealing to a profound sense of wonder.
