The Reforms
Location: Rarely, if ever, here or there, but always in transition

Junya Ishigami’s “balloon” from the Space for Your Future exhibition at the
Museum of Contemporary Art in Tokyo (2007-2008), is a massive reflecting
object that floats suspended in the atrium of the museum. Weighing just
under a ton, the sculpture, built from light gauge steel trusses and reflective
aluminum panels, is filled with an equilibrium of helium that allows it to hover
precariously over visitors heads below, and is free from any connections to its surroundings.
