Floating Heads!

The ‘Floating Heads’ installation is quite literally turning heads at the Kelvingrove Museum, situated in Glasgow. This installation was created by the talented Sophie Cave, a Scottish artist, and over 50 of them are asymmetrically hung, each displaying variations of emotions, ranging from laughter to despair. Each head is completely white, with defined, statement expressions and certain accents of the expressions are highlighted with a faint blue light. What is more is that these realistic faces, pose questions and suspicions to what it is that is provoking these said expressive declarations.

In addition, this installation could play a key role in inspiration for a set or production design. Imagine having over 50 of these heads, hung as a simplistic set design as the backdrop for a theatre play. With a mixture of lighting and sound effects, it plays for an eerie yet theatrical production.
