Anish Kapoor's - Turning the World Upside Down exhibition, Hyde Park

A blustery, freezing cold day in Hyde Park couldn't take anything away from the sort of spectacle that Anish Kapoor's Turning the World Upside Down manages to capture.

It's charms were heightened by a visit to the mesmerising Philippe Perreno exhibition at the Serpentine Gallery just before it, which features the stunning illusion of snowfall outside the Gallery following the showing of Perreno's new short film Invisibleboy (2010). However, the mirrored constructions by Kapoor in the surrounding Kensington Gardens of Hyde Park are captivating enough all by themselves.

With four constructions, the series is built with highly reflective stainless steel surfaces, but distorted in different ways to allow visitors to interact with each one; to twist and move themselves and their surroundings.

Capturing the park and the sky on their mirrored surface the exhibition is a playful addition to Hyde Park for the winter months. Free to the public, Anish Kapoor's Turning the World Upside Down will remain in Kesington Gardens until the 13th March 2011.
