Vertige

Vertige (Vertigo), 2012.

Three swings relied to motors by metallic cables.

Metal, wood, fabric, feathers, hair, light bulbs and others.
40 × 80 cm wide × 400 cm high.

Installation, exhibition Duo d'artistes : un échange (avec Mireille Henry), L'Iselp, Brussels, 2012.
With Jim Clayburgh and Michel Mandoux.

Like three whimsical metronomes, each structure sweeps the space at its own pace, dragging along materials that evoke flight as well as the passing of time.
