Turning the World Inside Out 1995

There's no date listed for this sculpture, Turning the World Inside Out, by Anish Kapoor, but it looks like it's made of polished steel. The smooth, reflective surface is just amazing; it pulls everything in like a magnet. I imagine Kapoor working on this, maybe starting with a simple shape and slowly, intuitively, coaxing it into being. It reminds me a bit of some of Brancusi’s sculptures, but with a totally different feel. I wonder if Kapoor was thinking about perception. The world is there, but its reflection gets all bendy and weird and it’s like, what is reality anyway? I mean, the hole in the middle messes with your head in a good way. You feel like you could fall in, or maybe climb inside and see where it leads. You could get lost, or, maybe you would find yourself. It is pretty cool how sculpture can play with space and make you think about stuff that’s not so obvious.
