After being presented at the Times Art Museum in Beijing, the work made its way to the Big Apple, in collaboration with the Balloon Museum, for the "Let's Fly" exhibition which ended in January and brought together 14 artists from various countries at Pier 36 in New York.

Once again, the Spanish artist SpY delivers a truly unique and unclassifiable work of monumental proportions. A regular contributor to Acumen, SpY makes a bold statement with ZEROS, an extraordinary installation composed of a dozen XXL inner tubes suspended from the ceiling. Conceived as a large-scale kinetic sculpture, its massive volumes nonetheless conveying an impression of lightness, the creation offers a gentle choreography, driven by the movements dictated by the cables that suspend the inflated circles.
the air. Movements that make the installation resemble an enormous, somewhat unsettling, heavily moving fantastic animal, an impression reinforced by the intense contrast between this dark form and the very severe white light of the exhibition space.

As is his custom, the artist plays with and works with the visitors' perception, offering them a fluid visual experience marked by the scale and changing appearance of the work, inviting the public to move through it and contemplate it from various angles. Key characteristics of his work are confirmed in this new installation: first, obviously, is the importance of the observer's eye, which is encouraged to discover the work in all its aspects; then the materiality of the piece, with its geometry, its consistently strong color, and the space it occupies; but also the notion of movement, which can be either natural or mechanical; and finally, time, which is certainly the most fundamental aspect. The time to be here and now as an observer, to become aware that each moment of observation gives rise to a fragment of the progression, the evolution of the work – "literally a new work of art is revealed with every new glance."
