The artwork, entitled “Turbulence (black)”, was created by artist Mona Hatoum in 2014 and belongs to the Post-Minimalism art movement. This piece is an installation artwork.
The artwork presents a circular form meticulously composed of countless small, dark, and presumably identical objects arranged in a dense and uniform pattern directly on the floor. Its monochromatic black coloration contrasts sharply with the surrounding plain, grey floor, drawing immediate attention to its presence. The circular installation symbolizes a striking yet calm presence, evoking a sense of quiet intensity and contemplation. The deliberate simplicity and precision of the piece resonate with Post-Minimalist principles, emphasizing the materiality and spatial context.
