Within Balka’s oeuvre, 68(200x8x8)Heaven is singular, distinguished by the artist’s choice of a reflective plastic and the work’s compositional variability each time it is presented. Here, Balka invites the viewer to delve into an uncanny realm of suspended self-recognition. There are 68 elements, each measuring 200 by 8 by 8 centimeters. They are fashioned in an open spiral and individually hung from the ceiling, creating a work that simultaneously reflects and distorts the viewer in an unearthly shifting light. Consequently, the “I” is reproduced infinitely, as in a hall of mirrors, but alternately shrunken and elongated as one traverses the space. The viewer, participating by virtue of interaction, is a crucial element to the activation of the artwork. As one winds through the installation, the airflow alters each element and creates the illusion of upward and downward movement, all the while preventing one from gaining a single or stable view of the self.
