Homage to Yves Klein: Levitation (Child)

A haunting and tender work, Susan Hiller's *Homage to Yves Klein: Levitation (Child)* engages in a dialogue with the legacy of Klein's performative leaps into the void, reframing his iconic gesture through the lens of childhood and vulnerability. Hiller draws on themes of transcendence, belief, and bodily possibility, questioning the mythology of the heroic male artist by invoking the innocent, unguarded faith of a child in flight. The work reflects Hiller's broader interest in the boundaries between the rational and the mystical, the documented and the imagined.
