Kurt Hentschläger has spent a lifetime creating artworks that push the viewer into a state of sensory overload.
Zee is no exception. As one visitor to put it: "It is really hard to say something smart about something so sensual". Variously described as "insane", "like entering Heaven" and "another planet", Zee is an installation of fog, light and sound that will transform Gallery 1 at FACT into an out of body experience. An installation “like death” that has audiences struggling to believe the evidence of their senses, this manifestation of Hentschläger's distinct and mind-altering artwork is a UK first.
Please note: Due to the sometimes disorienting nature of Zee, suspended ropes are on hand to guide first timers through the installation. Visitors are nevertheless free to roam the exhibition space if they wish.
