Mircea Cantor`s new sculptural installation elaborates on the theme of uncertainty.
Cantor prompts reflections on worlds within worlds, and on freedom and its limitations. He uses objects such as a flying carpet woven with motifs of angels and aeroplanes. Cantor`s video and mixed media installations address the notion of displacement and co-existent worlds. He has achieved international status since he first began exhibiting in 1999. His video `Deeparture` (2005) was a highlight of the 2006 Berlin Biennial, it recorded the unsettling meeting of a deer and a wolf in a pristine white gallery space. Beyond the suspense, Cantor discreetly evokes the uneasy confrontation of ideology, people and culture. "Cantor`s poetic use of materials, images, animals and places offers an eloquent meditation on the contradictions of our contemporary world and the human condition. His work has a beauty and immediacy that resonates long after the encounter." Suzanne Cotter, Curator
