This fascinating time-lapse video documents the extremely labor-intensive ten-day installation of Nadia Kaabi-Linke’s suspended sculpture "Flying Carpets" (2011). This work is on view at the Solomon R. Guggenheim Museum as part of the Guggenheim UBS MAP Global Art Initiative exhibition "But a Storm Is Blowing from Paradise: Contemporary Art of the Middle East and North Africa" (April 29-October 6, 2016).
