The Shape of Things to Come?

I generally feel underwhelmed visiting the Saatchi Gallery exhibitions, but this work The Milky Way by Björn Dahlem played heavily on my penchant for fluorescent tubes.

Björn Dahlem makes room-sized sculptures that represent abstract concepts of space and matter. His creations are based not on stability, but on fragility which he sees as the defining condition of human knowledge. His low-tech wood and light assemblages allude to cosmic theories and philosophy, re-imagining the ways the universe is understood in startlingly simplified terms.
