\u201cDescension\u201d inaugurated on 2nd<\/sup> May 2015 in Galleria Continua in San Gimignano, is an exhibition project by the most internationally acclaimed contemporary artist Anish Kapoor, exhibition adapting itself to the cinema theatre space of the gallery. \u201cDescension\u201d is the name of the most emblematic installation, a huge vortex of water that with its perpetual force, attracts us towards a total unknown endless space. A series of alabaster sculptures, invite the spectator to reflect as well upon the latent state of the power of matter itself, of the energy contained within it and over the sense of eternity.\u00a0In Kapoor\u2019s poetic, we are always facing a philosophical and paradoxical work, aimed to explore the human being and self-awareness and the universality of space and time.<\/p>\n

\u201cI have always thought of it [the void] … as a transitional space, an in-between space. It\u2019s very much to do with time. I have always been interested as an artist in that very first moment of creativity where everything is possible and nothing has actually happened. It\u2019s a space of becoming\u2026all my life I have reflected and worked on the concept that there is more space than can be seen, that there are void spaces, or, as it were, that there is a vast horizon. The odd thing about removing content, in making space, is that we, as human beings, find it very hard to deal with the absence of content. It\u2019s the horror vacui\u2026<\/em>\u201d Anish Kapoor<\/p>\n
