MICHAEL PENDRY

“The elements fire, water, earth, air – and a heart. It pulsates, burns, throbs – and sometimes it even bleeds. It´s a symbol for life in all its fullness. a symbol of being human, love and pain. primary and genuine in a tech-focused world.“

A trestle, white and filigree, 5 meters wide and 5 meters high, in a church in the very center of the city. A three-dimensional heart filled with the four elements and yet open and dissolving into space. A heart that keeps on changing – because it is change that keeps it alive.

“HEART NUMBER ONE“ alternates its colour and its rhythm. It steams, glows and drips. Laser penetrate the dark space and the sounds of Digital Haze add another immersive dimension. In this spatial iconography, archaic images interlink with symbols, sculptural and dramaturgical elements, and play with capturing, with letting go and letting in. 

“HEART NUMBER ONE” is the first in a series of installations and sculptures by Michael Pendry.
