Catalogue Note

"The void has many presences ... The idea of being somehow consumed by the object, or in the nonobject, in the body ..I have always been drawn to a notion of fear, towards a sensation of vertigo, of falling, of being pulled inwards. This is a notion of the sublime which reverses the picture of union with light. This is an inversion, a sort of turning inside-out. This is a vision of darkness." (Anish Kapoor quoted in Germano Celant, Anish Kapoor, Milan 1998, p. XXXV)
