TOO MUCH, TOO SOON!

On the occasion of Nilufar’s Milan Design Week, Andrés Reisinger presents the new project “TOO MUCH, TOO SOON!”. The bewitching and dream-like installation takes Reisinger’s signature aesthetic to the next level by staging the artist’s squatting of Nina Yashar, founder of Nilufar gallery’s office. Inspired by the 1950’s and 1960’s Free Jazz’s rebellious and improvisational approach, Reisinger’s new installation takes the functional space of Yashar’s office and renders it inaccessible. In this setting, four new illuminated sculptures are exhibited for the first time, becoming the only source of light and life while leaving the rest of the room enveloped in the shadows. Also resembling the attitude of Free Jazz, each artwork features an unexpected, almost improvisational, seemingly-moving geometry. The four illuminated sculptures are entirely made of metal, chromed and lacquered. The four artefacts are titled ‘OZ’, ‘DOT’, ‘ENDLESS’ and ‘HIGH’. Inspired by the original owner and occupier of the space smoking habit, Reisinger opted for a scenography that could instantly convey the same dizzying feeling as a smoky room does. He has thus completely enveloped the whole office in stainless steel and aluminium; a musical composition accompanies the surreal experience to create a contemplative environment where a space, usually inhabited by humans to perform daily tasks, takes life from inanimate objects. In line with Reisinger’s artistic approach, the installation once again wants to break the commonly accepted rules and venture into an unexplored territory, forging space for reflection and contemplation.
