Anish Kapoor’s Untitled is a rather large, concave dish, the inside of which is painted with a reflective blue lacquer. When approaching this work, the constantly changing reflections of viewers and the gallery space created an entirely unique experience of the space. The viewer could almost lose his or her orientation and understanding of the surrounding environment. It is this disruption of one’s perceptual frames of reference that invokes a glimpse of the void or emptiness that is a central concern of Kapoor’s work.
