This is “O”, by Wouter Persyn. The project with which Wouter graduated as a furniture designer was a closet called Gordn. It has an empty space that forms a perfect circle, if you look at it from a certain, perfect angle. Now, you’re probably why I’m talking about a closet while there’s not a closet in sight here? The sculpture, now turning before your eyes is “O”, and that’s in fact the opening out of Gordn. Gordn and O form one unit even though they’ve never been physically together.

While Gordn requires the visitor to walk around the closet, here the O is spinning here, as a tangible void. Like clockwork, a perfect circle arises.

Is this a closet, or is this art? There’s no doubt about it now.

This is the work of Shiyi Zhou. With this work, Shiyi wants us to stand up, to discover how strong our own bodies are, and how it is impossible to act freely. It is an ethereal dance, which wants to bring the audience into a context full of instincts and forces of life. Try not to lose yourself in overanalysing and look at this work from the perspective of your personal life experience.
