- In a shaft situated above the visitor plates hover and dance around a point of unstable equilibrium until they collide and break. The plates then fall and splinter just above the visitors head on bulletproof glass. This project was originally intended as an observatory for falling objects or a machine where objects would fall down slowly so one could observe the impact and breaking of the objects in detail. But along the way the installation developed into a kind of anti-gravity machine displaying complex aerodynamics and acoustic qualities.
