SHIMURABros contemplate ‘Your museum primer’, 2014, from Eliasson’s solo exhibition at Leeum, Samsung Museum of Art, Seoul, ‘The parliament of possibilities’, 2016–17. Suspended from the ceiling of a darkened gallery space, a prismatic ring with a pane of colour-effect filter glass at its centre slowly rotates within a beam of light projected by a focused spotlight. As the ring turns, it casts circles and arcs of light that move along the walls, scanning the space. Some of these are single tones, while others display the full range of colours in the visible spectrum. Because of the properties of the colour-effect filter glass, the reflected light appears blue while the light that passes through the glass is yellow. SHIMURAbros are the filmmaking sibling duo Yuka and Kentaro Shimura. Their work has been exhibited worldwide at venues such as the National Arts Center, Tokyo; the National University of Singapore’s Centre for the Arts, NTU Centre for Contemporary Art Singapore; The Museum of Contemporary Art, Taipei; The Hessel Museum of Art and CCS Bard Galleries in New York; the Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts; and Museums Quartier, Vienna.
