Time Slice The Bean

Each "Time Slice" photo consists of 36 individual images taken before, during, and after sunset, sliced together to show the dramatic change from day to night in a single photograph. Anish Kapoor’s "Cloud Gate," affectionately known as The Bean, provides a surreal canvas for this time-based study, as its polished stainless steel surface reflects the shifting Chicago skyline and sky. The image captures the transition from the bright, crisp reflections of the afternoon to the twinkling, electric glow of the Michigan Avenue lights as night falls. Silver’s technique emphasizes the liquid-like quality of the sculpture, showing how the colors of the sunset wrap around the curved form. By "slicing" the time, the photograph creates a multi-layered view of both the art and the city it reflects. This print is a quintessential Chicago piece, offering a fresh and highly technical take on one of the most famous public sculptures in the United States.    Print Sizes Editions Price 8 x 12
