Site Of The Fall Sculpture By Reza Aramesh

Beneath the Swiss Re building (aka the Gherkin) is the sculpture artwork entitled 'Site Of The Fall: Study of the renaissance garden: Action 180: At 9:15 am Sunday 28th May 1967' by Reza Aramesh, on 29th July 2020, in the City of London, England. This piece of art is one of a series of 12 sculptures that form the body of work titled ‘Site of the Fall – Study of a Renaissance Garden’. From research on reportage images of the Vietnam war, a single composition was selected, the image of which has been reconstructed through a process of rendering based on live subjects. Hand carved Carrara marble depicts the subject as larger than life. The plinth is a site-specific design to communicate with the environment of where it’s situated.
