Description

Flying is a kinetic installation composed of two fans whirring swiftly on cords, accompanied by attached speakers amplifying the spinning sound of danger and the inherent tension that accompanies it. As the fans spin faster, they command increasing attention, drawing viewers into a deep focus on their movement and the space they occupy. Premiered at Rijksmuseum Twenthe, Flying's frenetic energy raises questions about safety and risk: how secure is the environment, and how precarious does it become as the velocity increases?
