Suspended sculpture transforms Cape Town museum's atrium : v

A moody, brooding and floating installation by Malagasy artist Joel Andrianomearisoa is transforming the towering atrium of the Zeitz Museum of Contemporary African Art in Cape Town. “The Five Continents of All Our Desires” features sculptures in black silk paper suspended in the museum’s multi-story central atrium. They form a massive, slowly moving mobile that suggest geographical archipelagos and play off the building’s massive concrete curving walls. Originally grain silos at Cape Town’s port, the museum building was created by scooping out several of the interior walls. Andrianomearisoa’s work will be on show until June 25, 2023.
