About Embankment

“Embankment” is an installation artwork created in 2005 by Rachel Whiteread, affiliated with the Conceptual Art and Post-Minimalism movements. The artwork features a large-scale collection comprised of what appears to be a multitude of white, cubic forms, meticulously arranged to form imposing, architectural-like structures. These structures extend across a vast space, creating towering mounds and winding pathways that invite viewers to explore. The sheer scale and repetitive geometry of the cubes evoke a sense of both order and alienation, reflecting Whiteread’s conceptual inquiries into the spatial and material voids of everyday life. The visitors’ engagement with the installation, as they meander through the labyrinthine constructs, underscores the experiential nature of the piece.
