This is Part 2 of my look at Sarah Sze: Timelapse at the Guggenheim Museum. Part 1 is here.
Slice detail with Wright’s Oculus.
As I said in Part 1, there were so many amazing details in Timelapse I decided to devote a separate piece to them. I’m showing 40 as thumbnails. Click on any image for full size. There’s also a short video clip.
…and wonder about Timelapse I continue to…Show posters behind appropriate scaffolding, Seen on 10th Avenue, June 5, 2023.
The hub for the black string.
Following are Photos of details in the 8 Bays on the 6th floor. Please refer to the overall shots of each installation in Part 1 for orientation and where they are installed in each piece.
The following are details from Bay 1, The Night Sky is Dark Despite the Vast Number of Stars in the Universe
Detail of the Hammock in Bay 1. The Hammock over the ground floor pool and the Hammock Sarah Sze created in 2015 had a similar overlay. I believe the material on the floor is part of the installation, and hasn’t fallen through.
Detail of the far left corner of Bay 1, with a shadow from the Hammock and an image from River of Images.
The following are details from Bay 2, Travelers Among Streams and Cascades
Three details from the Painting, Travelers Among Streams and Cascades. This one from the left section…
Detail of the center section…
Detail of the right section.
The following are details from Bay 3, Slice.
Slice. Detail of the front.
Slice. Close up of the front. Shown here are a number of the recurring image “themes”: hands, birds, the Sun, fire, the sky and other aspects of nature.
Detail behind Slice with River of Images.
One of many levels and rulers.
Looking over a rung of a ladder to see the model of Slice in its Bay installed under it displayed next to the final piece.
Throughout Timelapse lamps were used apparently to draw the viewer’s attention to specific images or objects.
The following are details from Bay 4, Diver, Second of two parts and Images That Images Beget
The following are details from Bay 5, Times Zero
Times Zero, 2023.
The following are details from Bay 6, A Certain Slant,
Detail of the center surrounded by images of hands and objects.
Detail of the far right corner looking to the right from the image above. I imagine the salt from those blue containers is what is in the center of the circle.
Detail of part of the installation on the floor further to the right in the previous picture.
The following are details from Bay 7, Last Impression
An alternate, slightly closer view of Bay 5 from what I showed in Part 1. As you can see in the full size image, the empty frames to the right are attached to the strings that run across the gallery.
Some details of the ladder at the right side, front, of the Bay.
The following detail is from Bay 8, Things Caused to Happen (Oculus)
Short clip of Things Caused to Happen (Oculus).
The Artist points out that in the end, the digital images beamed on to Things Caused to Happen (Oculus) break up on the far wall.
*- Soundtrack for this piece is “I’ve Seen It All” by Bjork. This time in the version with Thom Yorke.
