Your body can not run without the enzyme ATP - synthase . It construct ATP , a molecule that provides vitality to cells . And now glass artistColin Renniehas sculpted this all-important enzyme out of 30 meter - straight methamphetamine plates .
The Medical Museion in Copenhagen just put Rennie ’s amazing and flaky work on show , and it was so heavy they worry that it would actually crash through the base . So they assembled it in the basement of the museum . say Thomas Söderqvist , who is the museum ’s principle detective :
We have position it in the cellar area to the left of the main entry – we did n’t make bold put it on the priming coat base because we were afraid the 18th century wooden story expression would collapse under the 900 kilograms of assembled glass plates . It ’s lit by a single spotlight which gives the humble and dark elbow room a crypt - similar ambience , and increase the comportment of the sculpture . An objective of secular fear .
Below Colin is down one of the 30 Methedrine plates measure 1×1 time . you could see how the social organization of the carving is made out of nothing , i.e. , holes in the glass plates made by a water jet stream cutter .
