Rothoflex. 2000
Electric motors, steel needles, porcelain plates.
Variable size.
Art installation in which about 15 small electric
motors spin a steel needles ranging from
1.6 meters up to 2 meters high on where porcelain
plates turns in a precarious balance.
In this cosmology of spinning plates if one of
them loses the center of the balance fall rushing
into the vacuum and breaking to reach the
ground, destroying the circular perfection. The
perception of the overall balance from stroke, the
unforeseeable, the ever-changing repetition of
unstable elements that create a hypnotic effect
contrasts with the atmosphere of the play, the
circus evokes. The dishes are containers, limits
on themselves defining a within one out, could be
understood as metaphors of being.
