The Kraken is it a mythological beast from deep under water or an art exhibit at Turbine Hall. Doris Salcedo is well known for her Crack in the floor at the Turbine Hall. Its quite literally a crack in the floor, which directs everyones attention from the massive space of the Hall to the concrete floor. It symbolizes the danger of crossing borders of ideals especially on racism. It is the epicenter of catastrophe, and the aftermath of hatred. The crack will eventually be sealed but it will always remain in the floor, just like an ugly scar that will never go away.Her work encourages us to confront uncomfortable truths about our history and about ourselves.
