"This is the second time in succession that we have chosen to present the second time that Anish Kapoor has exhibited at the Biennale, after his striking debut at the 1982 Aperto in the company of other artists to whose work the label the "New British Sculpture has been loosely applied. The work on show in the Pavilion has been chosen by the artist with an eye to the succession of light, airy spaces which the Pavilion affords. We hope that it is displayed in such a way as to lead the visitor to reflect on the interplay between the volumes and voids, the body and spirit of the sculpture and the vessel within which it is contained. We believe that this work is singularly apt for the city where East meets West and a thin strip of land mediates between sea and sky." from the foreword
