Emergency blankets are those super-thin, reflective metalized plastic sheets that are used to trap body heat for people suffering from hypothermia.
Spanish artist SpY has reimagined them as gallery art, hanging hundreds of them in a close grid, which move in a subtle choreographed manner with music.
The subtle flowing movement and reflective gold and silver surfaces make the installation feel much more than the sum of its parts. The scale and verticality of the exhibit Blankets a zen and meditative quality, especially in the large white gallery space.
On display at the Times Art Museum in Chengdu, China.
