Earlier this month, dozens of metallic discs suspended from the ceiling of a large industrial space invited viewers to immerse themselves in what SpY<\/a> describes as \u201ca continuous choreography of movement and reflection.\u201d The artist is known for his large-scale installations<\/a>, often repurposing objects like traffic cones and metallic rescue blankets to create striking urban interventions.<\/p>\n
