Sun of steel is the title that poet and artist Šoškić gives his sculptural ‘power centre’, which consists of 30 curved steel rays radiating from a dome of flint. The resulting shapes resemble the heavy petals of a flower in a warm rusty red, and they change their appearance depending on the incidence of light. Although Šoškić draws links between history and myth with respect to the present, the evocation of symbols is ultimately only of secondary importance to him. His main focus is a ‘politics of the sensual’ – the immediate perception and experience of the work.
