'Cosmos', 2018 is composed of three 3.5 m high slatted structures which lean into and support each other, painted black on the exterior, and sprayed in a coloured gradient within. An imposing physical structure, the work encourages both a physical and aesthetic response. Says Rothschild: 'The external piece is quite forbidding. Its black shiny surface is like a set of disruptive gates.' Frequently Rothschild's works demand the viewer to navigate their own presence in proximity to the work and the architecture of the surroundings. This work serves as a spatial interruption or threshold, reorienting the passage and behaviour of the viewer. As a mise-en-scene or backdrop for performance, Rothschild's installations also invite the idea of the chance encounter, as spaces in which to reflect, watch, dream, and act.
