Multiple of Five
2017
Exhibited at
Le Grand Cordel Rennes (France) from 5 October until 24 November 2018 in the frame of Festival Maintenant 2018
A floating column made out of 40 plastic cushions is hanging from the ceiling, rustling and breathing. The media art installation "Multiple of Five" follows a site-specific choreography determined by the artist. Depending on 320 invisible fans the surface of the monumental vertical is constantly changing. Wavelike movements link one level to the other. Immaterial forms, compiled in a custom written program, turn into visible motion. Coincidentally the colors of the plastic film, originally used for flood protection or as carrier bags, remind the spectator of the French flag, the drapeau bleu-blanc-rouge. A simple and ambiguous everyday material is converted into a volumetric sculpture filling the whole exhibition room with its organic movement and peculiar sound.
