Recently installed on the embankment of Sajsary Lake in Yakutsk, Russia — the second coldest city in the world — is a massive sculpture fashioned by Spanish artist Okuda San Miguel. Forged with steel in his infectious signature style, the 4-meter public art object represents the artist’s vision of the primitive man — a punk-like figure sporting spiked hair, released from civilization’s shackles.
Curated by the National Art Museum of the Republic of Sakha in collaboration with Artmossphere, Okuda’s 4-meter public art object, Ancestral Retromirage, is the final project of the fifth International Yakut Biennale of Contemporary Art that began in April 2018.
