“Kapoor in Berlin”: Art That Breaks The Mold
Conveyor belts and a smorgasbord of dark red wax? Check. A giant deflating Hayao Miyazaki balloon-esque object? Check. A black hole opening up in the floor + mirror, mirror on the wall, am I the fairest of them all? Double check!

Wax may sound a little “been there done that,” as it’s long been used in sculpture for modelling designs, making impressions and casting moulds because of its malleability. However, Kapoor doesn’t just use wax as a means to create his art, he places it at the centre of his art!
