Heaven and Hell: 'Damned.MGX' chandelier by Luc Merx
'Death is the sanction of everything that the storyteller can tell. He has borrowed his authority from death'
By Walter Benjamin
The ‘heaven and hell’ section in the exhibition is a lot darker and deeper from the rest. You enter a completely different atmosphere. This chandelier was actually in the hallway near the exit of the exhibition. It caught my eye because it reminded me of a graphic designer called Dominic Wilcox. He made bowls out of melting toy soldiers together and molding them into bowl like shapes, even though this chandelier is relating to tumbling bodies of falling souls which is a completely different concept. This chandelier has so many shadows and shapes to it which is created from something simple but yet it’s such a dark story behind it. Tumbling human figures in a cloud shape which was inspired by Baroque art. Even though there were also many other pieces in the heaven and hell section which were of interest. The falling of the damned really caught my eye by its simplistic structured design.
