Mary Sibande
A Crescendo of Ecstasy combines familiar sculptural forms and figures with a Virtual Reality component that brings the work dramatically to life. Based on her use of alter-ego figures made in her own likeness, the piece creates an immersive environment for the viewer that can be accessed both physically and virtually, foregrounding the complex relationship between reality, fantasy and artistic imagination. The project extends Sibande’s preoccupation with these three elements and bridges her use of sculptural technology with the language of virtual reality.
