In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni, 2012–2013
±1,000 m of nylon strapping, stainless steel plate, ratchet tensioner
Dimensions variable

Nylon safety strapping wrapped and secured around the two columns of the art centre is connected by a metal plate that maintains the tension of the structure’s architecture. Visitors moving around the work in search of a clue discover a message in Latin on the plate, which, like a palindrome, can be read from either direction. The semi-enclosed interior of the structure offers a private space conducive to meditation.
