On July 25th, 2022, Harabel inaugurated the installation “Three Times Black” by artist Silva Agostini.
This activity is part of HARABEL’s program for Manifesta 14 Prishtina Western Balkan Project.
Three Times Black consists of three high metal bodies with a triangular base and similar volumes, but with different sizes.
The shapes of the three sculptural volumes were inspired by the architecture of the cities. The interrelation that the bodies have with each other is irregular, thus creating a volumetric complex with an abstracted development and with measurements that are in direct proportion to the surrounding space. The metal pages that confine and draw the silhouette of the three volumes appear in muted watercolors and merge with the landscape of the park.
Each one of these sculptures is individually movable and anyone who wishes can interact with them by inciting a free movement around their own axis. Passers-by are invited to become an active part of the work.
