Miroslaw Balka is a prominent Polish contemporary sculptor whose minimalist, somber installations utilize industrial steel, pine needles, ash, felt, and animal fat to memorialize the Holocaust, Polish Catholic memory, and the fragility of the human body. His legendary 2009 Tate Turbine Hall commission How It Is created a pitch-black steel chamber exploring sensory darkness and collective dread.
