The Floating Heads installation by Sophie Cave can be seen at the Kelvingrove Museum in Glasgow, Scotland. Over 50 heads, each expressing a different emotion, were hung over the museum’s foyer.
These expressive masks are fascinating because they capture a single moment in time, usually fleeting in real life. Faces are forever transforming as we navigate our daily existence…except here.
Apparently some people find the faces unnerving, perhaps because these moments are so rarely frozen and de-contextualized. I happen to think they are fantastic.
Creepy, especially in the dark, yet there’s something very cool about it...
