If anyone ask you just say: “It’s around the corner.”

Can you show the Levitated Mass as levitating? Or at least the feeling it’s floating.

Don’t know but I’m going to keep trying.

Most of the photos, maybe all, have been taken in the morning and very nearly at noon. I need to get photos of the Mass later in the afternoon. Maybe even wait until Winter when the Sun is at a different angle to the Mass.

All kinds of options. We will see. At least the Mass isn’t going anywhere.

It’s for sure entertaining but is it art? I haven’t got an opinion yet. Do you?

Here’s a previous post showing more of the sculpture and a description of exactly what it is: Metropolis II

This is so because René Magritte says so.

From LACMA’s web site:

Chris Burden’s Metropolis II is an intense kinetic sculpture, modeled after a fast paced, frenetic modern city. Steel beams form an eclectic grid interwoven with an elaborate system of 18 roadways, including one 6 lane freeway, and HO scale train tracks. Miniature cars speed through the city at 240 scale miles per hour; every hour, the equivalent of approximately 100,000 cars circulate through the dense network of buildings. According to Burden, “The noise, the continuous flow of the trains, and the speeding toy cars, produces in the viewer the stress of living in a dynamic, active and bustling 21st Century city.”

With this photo I was trying to find the best position to give the feeling that Levitated Mass was actually floating. Not easy. But maybe from this same position but earlier in the morning with the Sun in a position to fill the walkway with light and better give the impression of Levitated Mass.

What do you think?
