On the ground floor of London’s Whitechapel Gallery stands the Bloomberg commission- Giuseppe Penone’s “Spazio di Luce” (Space of Light), 12 meters of hollowed out tree trunk decorated with a gold leaf interior. The trunk balances on its own branches creating the allusion of suspension, allowing onlookers to peer inside and around it.
