a
work
by
the
renowned
artist,
Anish
Kapoor,
turned
into
grim
reality
for
a
60-year-old
visitor
to
a
museum
last
week,
when
he
dropped
into
it.
The
artwork
was
damaged
and
the
man
was
left
nursing
his
wounds,
after
finding
and
hitting
limbo.
It
was
just
a
black
hole,
a
void,
but
he
could
not
dodge
gravity.
This
exhibition
was
in
Porto,
Portugal's
second-largest
city
and
well
known
for
Bacchus'
finest
offering
[\-!]
Port
wine.
It
has
not
been
reported
if
a
few
sips
caused
the
descent
of
man.
Perhaps
not.
The
sheer
draw
of
the
black
ink
used
by
Kapoor
may
have
hypnotised
him
into
boldly
going
where
no
man
had
gone
before.
Kapoor,
through
his
acclaimed
installations
like
the
Orbit
tower,
which
is
the
tallest
sculpture
in
the
UK,
the
Ark
Nova
(an
inflatable
concert
hall),
two
subway
stations
(in
Naples
and
Triano)
appears
to
have
always
thought
of
human
beings
at
the
centre
of
his
work.
But
he
likely
did
not
envision
a
connoisseur
so
deep
inside
the
exhibit
[\-!]
an
unintended
brush
with
the
colours
used.
The
colour
is
important.
Kapoor
told
the
world
two
years
ago
that
he
secured
the
rights
to
exclusively
use
Vantablack,
the
black>
pigment,
designed
originally
for
military
purposes,
as
it
could
guard
stealth
aircraft.
Kapoor
was
excited
as
the
battle
to
use
the
colour
raged
on.
The
pigment
comprises
stems
of
colour
that
are
300
times
as
tall
as
they
are
wide,
so
that
about
99.6
per
cent
of
all
light
just
gets
trapped
in
the
network
of
standing
segments>.

said
the
artist,
prophetically,
if
you
could
disappear
into
it>.
The
disappearance
into
Vantablack
has
drawn
concern
of
various
shades.
Some
rue
the
fall
in
the
numbers
of
art
aficionados
it
may
result
in.
Others
wonder
if
it
is
a
consequence
of
staring
too
hard
into
the
abyss,
with
the
abyss
staring
right
back.
Some
watching
the
fall
have
been
quoting
Paul
Gauguin:
history
of
modern
art
is
also
the
history
of
the
progressive
loss
of
art's
audience>.
