Gilbert & George’s Rubik’s Cube (2023) – Gilbert and George Centre
£15.00
Product description from their website:
With details from the epic quadripartite 'DEATH HOPE LIFE FEAR' (1984), this iconic creation displays the human condition in four cardinal points that oppose yet interact with each other: beginning and end, pleasure and pain. Reworked in this combination puzzle, users can disorganise details of the composition at whim.
Gilbert & George explore these aspects by immersing themselves in the popular street culture of East London youth, juxtaposing images of themselves with those of youths on scales that alternate between the gigantic and the minuscule, creating an oppressive, absurd effect that suggests both the physical proximity and emotional distance experienced between human beings in a modern metropolis.
