Metamorph V
What seems at first glance to be a very daring composition of objects made of different materials reveals itself on closer inspection to be a balanced interplay of forces and energies that interpret space,emptiness and material differently. It presents natural object known as Scholar’s Rock (Gōngshí供石or Suiseki水石), stones from the collection of CHANG Tsong-zung juxtaposed with nine sculptural works by the German artist Tobias KLEIN.
