Talking about unconscious according to modern art I think that the Richard Wilson’s masterpiece 20:50 fir the subject really well. 20:50 is an installation made from sumo oil. Placed in Saatchi (in gallery 13) exactly fill the whole space, what makes you feel really wired, especially when seeing from ground level. Standing there you has the feeling like being in some surreal space – the floor is ideally the same as celling, even deeper.
It is really amazing how the artist can influence viewers’ mind by doing such a simple thing like feeling the room with thick oil.
What makes me laugh during my shift there is when people sometimes come and immediately go out saying ‘oh, there is nothing in this room’ or asking me where is the exhibit. Most of visitors ask as well how deep is the oil, because it’s hard to believe that is so shallow. Once the artist was asked how deep is the oil and je answered – As deep as your imagination…
