After the three freezers were winched down into the wells, I needed to decide how to plan the space. I had a choice between making the equipment part of the exhibition by involving the viewers in the making process or focusing attention primarily on the ice installation itself.

Some people’s experience of the piece will consist of that which they see on the webcam. To avoid the freezers dominating that experience I decided to locate them in the camera’s blind spot.

This means they can still be seen from above in the museum but not from the two main vantage points. They are part of the story without detracting from the main installation.

Practicalità e pensiero.
