Whilst I’m talking about the national museum in Singapore (or, more particularly, its restaurant!), I was mesmerised by one of the exhibits, Suzann Victor’s “Contours of a Rich Manoeuvre 2006″.Eight red chandeliers hung from a high ceiling. To quote the museum’s description:
Installed at three metres above the floor of the bridge and one and a half metres apart, each chandelier swings across the bridge’s width in sequence or in a staggered pattern. The lights on each chandelier intensify to maximum brightness on the inward arch and dim on the outward arc.
Every time one emerged from one gallery, to walk to the next, the chandeliers had swapped to a different choreographed routine: ‘Pairs’, ‘Tattoo’, ‘In Rank’, ‘Helix’, each combination swinging for thirty minutes.
