Odins Parsipark is an installation artwork assembled in the
3rd floor of MOMA PS1. It contains pictures, objects, stage,
literature, sounds and TV shows etc. Its size about 1.000x1.000x400 cm, also
called multimedia installation.
What struck me about
this piece was not about its various use of objects, but the sentiment it
creates with its surroundings and sounds.
Firstly, walking in
the door of Odins’ Parsipark faces the other door which cannot be opened. A
wall in front of you with unorganized images, characters, lines and drawings.
But the room is too dim to let me figure out what is on the wall. After giving
up of trying to interpret, and turn to the other side of the wall, it contains a
plain, flat, nothing but few lamps on the floor, lightening up the place. This
was where my mind made a shape turn. From a complicated map of lives, history,
etc. to purely nothing. As if it wants your mind to rest after a wind blow. And
prepare for a thunderstorm. Of course, I did not know what was coming after.
Turn to the last
side of the room. There is a huge cage with a revolving stage inside. Some TV
sets give the room a better brightness. Pictures hanging on the wall, and
several military airplane cabin parts and stairs put together on the slowly
revolving stage. It is madness, and chaos. If there was a time machine, this is
the one you would not wish to take. Inside its cabin, contains sexual context
and topics such as German history, Nazis, Hitler. And definitely the sense of irony.
The
artist, in my opinion, is trying to use a dark, negative tone of color and
sound sending a message that our world has always been a filthy place. He also
trying to say that people looked for brightness under lights, but ended up on a
stage of cruelness infinitely. The spinning stage makes us wonder if we had
ever gotten out of this circle before, or if we ever will. And it is a disturbing
thought to have in mind.
