sphere, fabric, lumber, steel wire, rubber tubing, speaker, LED tube light, mobile stage, 53.94 × 24.02 × 85.04 in (137 × 61 × 216 cm), 95.67 × 95.67 in (243 × 243 cm)
Exploring sustained, incremental falling motion over 120 minutes, and the evolving tension and combined forces between the human body, objects, and space. A rubber tubing connects the body to a soft sculpture, provoking tipping, balancing, suspension, and moments of loss of control—driven by a personal sense of life. Investigating volume through the body, the grass ball, and the sculpture derived from it. Reconceptualizing the original space by examining the sculpture–body relationship, alongside the garden’s five large stones and surrounding plant arrangements.
