ABU DHABI
A Maze of Light and Thread
A maze constructed from thousands of silicon threads, Susanna Fritscher’s Fur die Luft (For the Air) has been installed in one of Louvre Abu Dhabi’s galleries. Stretched between the floor and the ceiling like strings of a giant musical instrument, the artwork acts as a mist-like filter between visitors and the architecture around them, transforming their perception of the space. Today at 11am, Fritscher will give a talk about her installation. Dh63 entry.
