Artist reflects on park display
Anish Kapoor appears to turn the world upside down with a new show at Kensington Gardens in London.
The influential British artist's giant curved mirror sculptures, in which he is seen reflected, now have an outdoor setting in the Royal Park.
Four Kapoor sculptures, which create illusory distortions of their surroundings, have taken up residence amongst the trees, lakes and ponds for six months. The valuable works of art, which will reflect the changing colours, foliage and weather of the park, are being given 24-hour security with guards having to brave the elements to keep an eye on the pieces around the clock.
Asked if he had any words of comfort for them, Kapoor said: "Oh God, I hope they don't get too cold."
The exhibition is free and runs from today until March 13.
