Documentation of Rose Finn-Kelcey's exhibition 'Steam Installation' at Chisenhale Gallery in 1992.
Made almost entirely of steam, bounded by air curtains, the work attempts to foil the hardness of its architectural context. The insubstantiality of the work results from a combination of three basic elements – air, fire, and water.
Finn-Kelcey’s piece exemplifies the transformation of matter through energy. Not only visible, Finn-Kelcey’s installation impinges on other human senses such as the sound of rushing air and the feel of steam. Such interaction between the work and its audience challenges conventional notions of artistic experience.
