Introducing “The Floating Symphony”: a ground-breaking art installation that captivates the senses and challenges traditional concepts of space and movement. This mesmerizing piece, created by renowned artist Frank Bueltge, immerses viewers in a symphony of light, sound, and motion. The central element of the installation consists of 555 delicate glass orbs, each suspended in mid-air by nearly invisible threads. These orbs vary in size and are meticulously arranged to create a harmonious and ethereal composition. As visitors wander through the installation, they experience an intricate choreography of swaying and rotating orbs, casting enchanting shadows, and reflecting vibrant hues from the surrounding ambient lighting. “The Floating Symphony” is a multi-sensory masterpiece that evokes a sense of awe, inviting viewers to connect with the sublime beauty of the universe.

Drawing parallels to the concept of Transcendental Idealism, Bueltge’s creation blurs the boundaries between reality and the imagination. Inspired by Kant’s philosophy, the installation invites contemplation on the nature of perception and the limits of human understanding. Viewers are urged to question the distinction between the physical presence of the orbs and the mental representation they form in their minds, exploring the delicate interplay between the external world and our internal experience. As “The Floating Symphony” guides us through an otherworldly journey, it encourages us to contemplate the intangible beauty that exists beyond our mundane realities.

Today, “The Floating Symphony” is unveiled to the public in the prestigious Grand Gallery of the Metropolitan Art Museum.
