Model, Your Voices

Installed 2022, Lincoln Center Plaza, New York, New York, USA

“New York is the most linguistically diverse city on the planet, with 637 languages spoken by its inhabitants. Your Voices celebrated this diversity. Like a giant harp, the sculpture’s glowing arcs enveloped visitors and local choirs within an illuminated web. The piece rotated through a soundscape of languages from all over the city: from Arabic and Ashanti to Zapotec and Zulu. The strands spliced and framed the viewers’ perspectives, just as our perspectives are shifted when we learn to speak through the voices of others.”

—Es Devlin

Black-and-white drawing of a complex geometric structure housed within a polygonal sphere, seen straight on; a much smaller figure stands next to it for scale.

White model on a circular base of curved arches at different heights and angles forming two differently sized spherical structures, one inside the other. Delicate threads connect the two structures. Light glows from within the model; a figure stands at the edge of the model for scale.
