Svayambh, 2007

This edition depicts a section of Anish Kapoor’s eponymous monumental installation Svayambh and condenses its conceptual and material essence. Svayambh is a powerful reflection on history, ideology, and corporeality. A monumental, blood-red block of wax moves slowly through the space, leaving traces and evoking associations of flesh, violence, and memory. The title, derived from the Sanskrit word for “self-generated,” emphasizes the autonomous formation of the work. The slow, inevitable movement through the architecture of the building intensifies the engagement with its past and structural power – a profound artistic exploration of space and history.
