"Galaxy M51"


Ingrid Lahti employs common materials, both natural and manmade, whose histories often play a part in the resultant artworks. Her installations bring viewers’ attention to the way perception is embodied, rather than restricted to vision and the intellect. We humans see and feel through physical bodies that evolved in the natural world. Natural metaphors, such as those that underlie Galaxy, her current installation for CoCA’s outdoor exhibition, Acclimatized, Heaven and Earth 5, at Carkeek Park, operate to elicit a fuller perceptual response from visitors and remind viewers of their place in the cosmos. Each viewer’s experience of this work will be transient, yet unique and mutable.

Recently architects have also begun to deploy embodied metaphors of the natural world in works such as Jürgen Mayer H’s tree-inspired Metropol Parasol in Seville, Toyo Ito’s Sendai Mediatheque, and Zaha Hadid’s riverlike spaces.

This project was supported, in part, by an award from 4Culture.
