The shocking installation, 12 meters across, is comprised of a metal block, a circular metal surface and 25 tons of scarlet wax. The metal block moves gently like a minute hand on the face of a clock, churning the wax and generating various shapes.

It is one of four centerpieces in the Indian-born artist's first blockbuster solo in China at the CAFA Art Museum. The other part of the show will be staged on Nov 11 at the Taimiao Art Museum (Imperial Ancestral Temple Art Museum), next to the Forbidden City.

CAFA show features four monumental projects central to his recent practice, and a number of models of works chronicling his decades-long exploration. Exhibits at the Taimiao Art Museum include a roster of Kapoor's earlier creations.

The Beijing solo is "designed to offer Chinese artists and the general public a rare chance to examine Kapoor's visual language," said CAFA Art Museum director Zhang Zikang. "It is also a major event for Sino-British cultural exchange."
