Seeing the
contrast between the dark, hard-edged creations for the exhibition
display and the soft, light interiors is reminiscent of the
last act of "2001: A Space Odyssey" in which the astronaut
Dave finds himself in an ornate bedroom suite with the black
alien monolith. From a purely visual perspective the contrast
between object and setting in the film is surreal. A similar
effect was achieved at this exhibition in Florence, appropriate
given the artist's surrealist tendencies.
