Traveling through Tilted Spheres, a photo from Ontario, Central

Photographer's Note

With a 5 hour layover, I had lots of time to take photos at Toronto Pearson International Airport. The airport presents itself as not only a gateway to the world, but also a cultural hub. In 2000, Toronto Pearson asked artists from around the world to create works that represent Toronto𠏋 role as a gateway to North American air travel, while capturing the essence of flight. More than 300 submissions were received, and eight were selected as permanent installations. This is Tilted Spheres, a 39-foot long by 14-foot high sculpture by Richard Serra located in Pier F of Terminal 1. American sculptor Serra created the sculpture of four huge steel fins, each curved, torqued, and coated in black rust inhibitor, from 2002 to 2004. It was installed in 2007.

Eğik K僡eler arasından Seyahat

5 saatlik konaklamayla Toronto Pearson Uluslararası Havaalanı'nda fotoğraf 蔒kmek i蓾n bir s僡� zamanım oldu. Havaalanı kendini sadece d𤦂yaya a�ılan bir kapı değil, aynı zamanda bir k悤t僡 merkezi olarak g飉termektedir. 2000 yılında, Toronto Pearson d𤦂yanın d顤t bir yanından gelen sanat�ılardan u蓰ş 驆𤦂� zaptederken, Kuzey Amerika hava yolculuğu i蓾n bir ağ ge蓾di olarak Toronto'nun rol𤦂� temsil eden eserler yaratmalarını istedi. 300'den fazla g霵derim alındı ve sekizi sabit kurulum olarak se蓾ldi. Bu Eğik K僡eler [adlı] Terminal 1 F İskelesi佋de bulunan Richard Serra tarafından 14 ayak y悞sekliğinde 39-ayak uzunluğunda bir heykeldir. Amerikalı heykeltıraş Serra heykeli 2002 ile 2004 arasında her biri kavisli, torklanmış ve siyah pas 霵leyici kaplı d顤t b憁悞蔒lik y凴ge蓨en yarattı. 2007 yılında yerine kuruldu.

Hello Murat Bey,

You timed your photo perfectly, catching the traveler perfectly as he wheels his carry-on suitcase across the diameter of the "Tilted Sphere." I've driven to Toronto on a couple of occasions but never flew there. It's an impressive airport.

Warm regards,

Bulent

Bonjour, cher Murat,

Hello Murat,
A nice artistic element posted in the airport hall, maybe with a purpose to fill empty space - but not with yet another shopping area.
Result had created a fine contrast, like "breaking" the ordinary pattern of airports.
Best regards,
Ike

Hello Murat,
A spectacular piece of sculpture. The man wheeling his luggage is well placed and provides scale. The symmetrical framing is perfectly suited to the sculpture.

Hello Murat,
Fascinating sculpture at Pearson International. I like sculptures where you can walk through. The man with the suitcase is a welcome detail. You spend the 5 hours well.
A pity I missed this place when I was waiting for my flight to Amsterdam.
Groet Rob

Hi Murat
An impressive artistic steely sculpture and thought evoking central composition so much to admire this work of art, great dof and bags of details with excellent reference point. A striking subject beautifully illustrated with accompanying narratives and a fruitful time you've had whilst awaiting to catch your next flight. A shot beyond reproach, Congrats.
Best regards

Hello Murat, I had a lot of time in Toronto Airport and I walked around, but I haven't seen these spheres. Interesting piece of art. This airport is Internet friendly, so after 3 weeks without Internet in Cuba, I cjecked my mails and FB and TE with a great joy. Nice composition.

Hello Murat,
I don't remember seeing this sculpture, when I was at Toronto Airport a couple of years ago. It's a very nice installation, which you captured in a fine lighting. Good timing to get this man in the centre of the circle too.

Hello Murat.
Spectacular composition of this airport, which surprises us with this kind of modern sculpture in a kind of door.
Very good management of both sharpness and brightness.
Well done. I like it.
You enjoy the weekend.

Hello Murat,
it's interesting how the people have added a story that has given particular signifance to the scene and justified its concept of the artwork as well. I like very much the perspective and the interaction between the two people, the viewer is involved too. You got the scene with excellent timing and lit it very effectively for details, depth and mood. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a great weekend,
Ourania
