GRAVITY

2018

Glass, acrylic glass, steel, mechanical and electrical components

Diameter: 60 cm

The vastness of the universe is permeated by an organizing, invisible force. It makes bodies circle around each other in eternal darkness. Day after day, month after month, year after year, millennia after millennia. Their cyclical movements follow their own laws. In the desert of the cosmos, the law of attraction keeps the sun, moon and other celestial bodies in their orbits, bringing spring, summer, fall and winter, day and night, ebb and flow.

Gravity consists of three circular panels of different sizes that move around each other on a black glass disc, imitating the principle of gravity. The medium-sized sphere moves around the largest sphere, while the smallest sphere moves around the middle one.
