Carsten Höller: “Double Carousel with Zöllner Stripes”
From 2 December 2011 to 26 February 2012, Rome’s Macro Museum will be hosting the artwork of Carsten Höller, winner of the Enel Contemporanea Award 2011. This award is promoted by Italian energy provider Enel in the sphere of Enel Contemporanea. The work is entitled “Double Carousel with Zöllner Stripes” and it is indeed a double carousel in motion with which the public can interact. The two carousels move in opposite directions at a very slow speed so that spectators can get on and off at will. The carousels look like enormous mills or grindstones with people sitting on them. They come close and then come apart in constant rotation. Carsten Höller has participated in numerous collective and personal exhibitions in some of the world’s most prestigious institutions such as Rotterdam’s Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen and the Kunsthaus Bregenz.
