wood, steel, rope, 1 light
This lantern serves to see within. It rotates on a swaying axis, turning itself ever inward. The single light luminates a body subjected to it’s own handling.
Operating it invokes dizzyness. Performed in a dark space it is almost impossible to synchronise the sense of motion with a visual reference. Inside the object, which hangs from the ceiling, one can see only the inside; it’s like standing stationary in a tiny round chamber.
A mantra of ‘I am moving’ befriends the spirit of vertigo. Engaging with this thought creates opportunity to transcend beyond this self inflicted state.
