The sculpture is formed by four concentric circles back-to-back, comprising nine graduated rings in the shape of a cone, supported by a silver-toned structure set on a concrete plinth. The lightness of the material gives the impression of weightlessness, while its transparency - dancing with slight greenish reflections - makes the work intimately related to its surroundings, mutating subtly as the viewer moves through space or realigns their perspective to change the experience.
They Are Often Called Singers, 2021, is the first piece of Solomons’ broader ongoing project, which investigates through different artistic approaches territoriesbetween the visual and sound. Through this project, Solomons explores the confluence of urbanism and the interpretation and experiences of people in urban settings to raise questions about relationships between design, built form and social interaction. The narrative of the piece takes the wind microclimate as its cornerstone, utilizing lyrical texts by E. Canetti to become a poetic instrument of communication, representation, and interpretation.
The circles are cut from green-hued acrylic, etched with capitalised quotations from the book Crowds and Power, supported on a fine aluminum structure. Quietly standing the words reveal a maelstrom within, by offering different points of connection and new fields of exploration.
