Swiss artists work goes missing

: A portion of an installation by Swiss artist Christian Waldvogel at the Kochi-Muziris Biennale was reported missing on Wednesday evening.

A 3D-printed steel tile that was part of his installation titled Recently, the non-flat-earth paradigm was reported missing from the main venue at Aspinwall House around 4.30 p.m. on Wednesday. The organisers informed the police immediately. Police arrived on the spot and frisked the visitors and others present in the area, but could not find the installation. The organisers have not given us a written complaint. So we have not registered a case yet, said a police officer. Officials are examining the CCTV footage and have begun searching the area to find the missing work.

The installation was inspired by the artists finding that for a person in Kochi, Indias northernmost point lies 125 km underneath the horizona fall that is equal to 15 times the height of the countrys tallest mountain range: the Himalayas.
