Description

In Flap Flap (2018), a mechanized pole moves up and down to stimulate a large monochrome parachute canvas. As if initiating a mating dance, it starts seductively slowly, floating up and drifting down again.

The pole’s rhythmic movement drives the canvas to strain and release itself from each corner, creating stroboscopic, hypnotic patterns across its surface. Gradually, the movement accelerates towards wild palpitations, almost ripping the canvas apart.

Duration: 12 minutes
