Installation with kinetic sculptures and sound: The Pyramid & wall units (triptych); 2022
The Pyramid I build my identity, make my decisions, and anticipate the future through past experiences. Looking back means to look forward, to build. The installation is a construction site of childhood games, of memories, of anticipation, of helplessness. The continuous motion and balancing act on top of the Lego block resembles somewhat aggressive, yet graceful motion of codependence. The contrast emphasizes the relation between child naivety and the construction of identity.
The wall units (sound sculptures) A childhood game of construction with Lego is a memory that has become almost an archetype for a number of generations: the sound of Lego bricks in the plastic box while digging for a piece you need, is a trigger for nostalgia. This noise, emitted from the rotating boxes, suddenly manifests itself as a catalyst and the means of transportation to the past. The programmed chareography is endlessly reshaping the composition of lego bricks inside every box.
Fun and Games becomes a model, a simulator for continuous search and construction of our space. I’m thinking, is anyone really not a vagabond?
