The installation, titled 'Double Bind', by the renowned Spanish artist, dramatically alters the 155metres long x 35 metres high (500 x 115 feet) Turbine Hall space by creating a spectacular split-level work, playing on perspective and illusion, visibility and invisibility.
For the Unilever Series commission, Juan Muñoz has created a new architectural space within the Turbine Hall, into which he has introduced a number of intriguing scenarios designed to involve visitors. The installation is divided into two parts. On the upper level the visitor sees a patterned floor through which two elevators rise and descend. The floor appears to be pierced with a series of large black holes or shafts, some of which are illusions. Below, pools of light fall from the shafts. Moving further into the lower space it becomes apparent that these are inhabited by a cast of sculpted figures.
