“A Moment Without You is dedicated to my dear friend the late Sir David Tang. A true free spirit and now even freer.”
Tracey Emin CBE RA Created as a symbol of “hope, faith and spirituality”, A Moment Without You will create a point for focus and contemplation. The five-part statue serves as a reinterpretation of the militaristic symbols of traditional Roman Standards by demonstrating the strengths of a seemingly insignificant creature through an embodiment of height, air and light. Cast from actual birds that appear 'real', these tiny, elevated forms emphasise Emin's idea that “birds are the angels of this earth and that they represent freedom.” The work relates closely to Emin’s first ever public art project, a single bird sculpture titled Roman Standard (2005), installed in both Liverpool and New York.
“Most public sculptures are a symbol of power which I find oppressive and dark,” the artist has said.
“I wanted something that had a magic and an alchemy, something which would appear and disappear and not dominate.”
