An invisible sculpture 隱形的雕塑

曾經(jīng)，一根用膠帶粘在白墻上的香蕉，被拍出12萬(wàn)美元的高價(jià)。類似這樣瘋狂的藝術(shù)品還有很多，讓我們一起來(lái)見識(shí)一下誰(shuí)也看不見的“隱形雕塑”吧！

An invisible sculpture created by Italian artist Salvatore Garau recently was acquired by a private collector who paid 15，000 euros for it. Titled I Am， the immaterial （非物質(zhì)的） work of art basically represents a technically empty space that is actually occupied by the energy of the sculpture.

Too far amazing and interesting？ Well， it's too late anyway， as someone has already snat-ched it up by paying 12，000 euros （15，000 with auction rights） earlier then.

Wondering what the new owner of this invisible sculpture will be getting for his money？ Well， if we're talking visible and tangible（可感知的） things， he will receive a certificate of authenticity （真實(shí)性） that proves I Am belongs to the buyer.

So how does one keep an invisible sculpture？ Well， the artist suggests storing the artwork in a special room， and in a space free from obstructions（障礙物）. Since I Am is invisible，special lighting and climate control are optional.

“The successful outcome of the auction turns out to be an undeniable fact： the void（真空;空間） is nothing but a space full of energy， and even if we empty it and nothing remains， according to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle that nothingness has a weight，” Salvatore Garau said. “It therefore has energy that transforms itself into particles， in short， in us！ When I de-cide to ‘exhibit an immaterial sculpture in a given space， that space will concentrate a certain quantity and density of thoughts in a precise point， creating a sculpture that from my title alone will take the most varied forms.”

Garau considers his invisible sculpture to be a perfect hidden evidence of our time. Besides， it has zero environmental impact.
