The BSM is very excited to welcome back an atrium installation created by Toronto-based artist Jim Hake . The installation, inspired by our collection, is made up of several pairs of colourful high heels twirling in light, symbolizing beauty and elegance and referencing the charged enchantment of cathedrals while at the same time playing with the kaleidoscopic potential of the forms and materials. Through colour, shape, pattern and juxtaposition, these shoe sculptures go beyond simplified allusion. They are meant to embody specific personalities and become metonymical references to people known or imagined, people that would enjoy dancing in a space bathed in light. Special thanks given to Abet Laminati for their contribution to this installation.
