Rivelino unveils part of his sculpture You, King Charles Island, Trafalgar Square, London, UK 23 Aug 2015
The first finger is manouvered to be bolted on to its weighted plinth - The installation of Mexican artist Rivelino’s 25-ton, 14.5 meter long sculpture You, in King Charles Island in Trafalgar Square. It is the first in a series of high-profile unveilings of contemporary Mexican sculpture across the capital this September, coinciding with the celebratory Dual Year of UK and Mexico 2015 (mexicouk2015.mx). In this case “two index fingers, equal in weight, colour and size point towards each other in commanding fashion. Intended as a reflection on human equality, the two pointing fingers are seen from afar as distinct entities; but through engaging in the intervening space between the fingers, the viewer opens up a dialogue of inclusivity. “
