Louis Pratt A very Dutch ghost

Wynne Prize 2023 finalist Louis Pratt ‘A very Dutch ghost’

Move around in front of this artwork and describe what you see.

Where is the best place to stand? Can you make the skull hover over you as if it is floating in the air? Louis Pratt is interested in how viewers interact with his art. His use of a concave mirror brings this artwork to life in front of us, but only if we move and engage with it.

Watch other people interact with the sculpture. How do they react when they see the skull?
