FOUNTAIN OF ETERNITY & KALEIDOSCOPE

For the Let’s Fly exhibition, artist and performer Sasha Frolova presents Fountain of Eternity, an inflatable sculpture, as well as a video entitled Kaleidoscope. In the video, the artist herself appears dressed in colourful inflatable latex costumes of her design. The dozens of moving silhouettes form a hypnotic kaleidoscope, which reflects and multiplies in the sculpture, creating a sense of a moving fountain. With its silver color and its pistil shape, a veritable alchemical symbol, this mercurial fountain touches our subconscious and inspires dreams and fantasies.
