RUSH HOUR II 尖峰时刻
Copper & Brass
143 x 360 x 53 cm
2019
Nyoman Nuarta took inspiration for Rush Hour II from cyclists he saw in the Netherlands. By depicting a person
capable of travelling at high speed by employing the bicycle, the simplest of industrial-era machines, Nuarta
questions the purpose of ceaseless technological advance. This rumination on the essence of industrial progress,
with an attendant of environmental and social burdens of pollution and traffic jams, is the real theme of Rush
Hour.
