Balls

The balls in the big tank, noticed above. Rather more impressive in the flesh than it is in reproduction - but then, if that were not so, why would one bother to actually build the thing?

Three of the smaller balls are equipped with loudspeakers, emanating interesting and not particularly loud or irritating noises, mostly fragments of speech.

A work in which Otobong Nkanga of Nigeria 'integrates voice and sculpture to reflect on contemporary anxieties'.

I was interested in the way in which the slender concrete pillars had been strengthened by their steel cladding. Or was it just to stop them being damaged by large, wheeled cleaning equipment when the tanks had one of their periodic cleans?
