Magnetrad

A magnetic wheel penetrates a hanging figure at different rhythms and speeds. a hanging figure in different rhythms and speeds. Repetitive patterns of movement are created; on closer inspection, the figure's deflected reactions are also random and differentiate per run.

The work deals with the relationships between power and allegiance, dependence and determination. One part of a relationship requires the the other, from which contradictory situations can arise from the perspective of one part. The worker sacrifices large parts of his free time in order to regain freedoms. For this purpose, he submits to questionable power constraints.

The figure becomes complete only when the wheel hits the hanging figure. Both are enclosed in the same system. Each part performs its function. The visible and familiar image of power gradually recedes into the background.
