spiral

The second piece of work that stems from this project foresees the realisation of a video sculpture with a spiral shaped basic plan modelled from the groundstructure of the order of leaves of a rosebud.
The walls of the videos culpture are made of zinced sheetmetal that are fastened together by a structure of steel supports fixed to the ground. The walls of the spiral within the cell decrease in size towards the centre, in which they are approximately 50 cm high. A video projector connected to a video player is placed on the floor in the centre of the spiral with the light source directed upward. Rotating pictures of the video "Rosa Binaria" are continuosly projected onto the ceiling. Due to its shape, the construction surrounds the entering visitor who makes his way into its inner space and forces him to move the entire body in a rotating movement and spirals haped path. Through this he is lured into a virtual journey within the video and experineces a world of the cartesian space.
