The centrepiece of Paik’s Venice Biennale exhibition, Sistine Chapel consists of fast-paced and overlapping images that completely cover the gallery walls and ceilings. With its electronic visuals and booming audio, interspersed with periods of silence, this sprawling installation compares, and brings into contemporary critique, the sublime visual experience similarly found in the Vatican.

Dimension: 105 x 148 mm
