Introducing “The Imminent Silence,” a contemporary art piece that embodies the concept of stillness in a world of constant motion. The installation consists of a single, large room with walls made of mirrored glass. Upon entering, visitors are enveloped in an eerie silence that permeates the space. The only movement is the reflection of their own bodies, which seem to float weightlessly in the room. At the center lies a suspended orb made of pure obsidian, radiating a faint glow that illuminates the walls with an otherworldly beauty. The piece evokes a sense of paradoxical tranquility and unease, challenging the viewer to confront their own impermanence in the face of an unchanging world.

The Imminent Silence invites us to consider the philosophical concept of impermanence, the idea that all things are in a constant state of flux and instability. Like the orb at the center of the installation, our lives are fleeting and finite, and yet we often cling to a false sense of permanence and continuity. The stillness of the space belies the underlying sense of motion and change that exists within each of us. The piece reminds us to embrace the transience of life and appreciate its inherent beauty. Frank Bueltge’s latest work of art is now on display at the prestigious Palais de Tokyo in Paris today. Check it out here.
