Cecilia Vicuña: Brain Forest Quipu

October 2022 - April 2023

Turbine Hall commission: mixed media sculpture with soundscape.

‘At the centre of Brain Forest Quipu are two sculptures that hang 27 metres from the ceiling. They are woven together using a range of organic materials, including found objects, unspun wool, plant fibres, rope and cardboard to evoke the look of bleached-out trees and ghostly forms. The soundscape Vicuña produced brings together Indigenous music from around the world, Vicuña’s own voice and music from fellow artists, alongside field recordings of nature and moments of silence’ – Tate
