The accident occurred at the exhibition of British stars in the Museum Park in Portugal. 60-летний Italian visitor fell 2.5-метровую the pit of his installation

the Hapless lover of art, has been discharged from hospital, the Italian is on the mend. To a certain extent it lightly. The installation is called "Descent into hell" — Descent into Limbo, and the pit in the floor — is a real trap.

Structurally, the installation is a big cube with a bright light on the ceiling and a hole in the floor, which — pitch darkness. Kapoor came up with this installation a quarter of a century ago, when in his possession was not black paint, almost not reflecting light. And now there is. Moreover, only one. A few years ago, Kapoor has bought the exclusive use of nano-краски Vantablack uncompromising black, not reflective. After that, he forbade other artists to use this material and alienated a significant part of the art-сообщества. Feature of Pantalica that painted these material objects become to the eye in a kind of black hole. The coating does not glare, and that means that the person is unable to determine object shape through vision. Ball in front of him, a drawn circle or a deep hole in the ground — is unclear. For the military it's a great disguise, and for civil — terrible thing. It is not known whether the used Kapoor the paint for the "Descent into hell", but judging by the photos, it seems.

After the incident, access to the installation in the Museum and Park Serralves (Porto) temporarily restricted, installed warning signs and put her caretaker.
