Description
In an arena of about 6m by 10m the artist puts a number of spinning tops in motion. He attempts to drive them as a kind of flock or lets them interact as a kind of self-sustaining system. They move in unpredictable ways, sometimes careful and hesitating, sometimes aggressive and determined. Searching for each other, passing or crashing. With some simple props like a stick or a coffee cup the abstract spinning tops become touching characters governed by doubts, thoughts and emotions rather than objective physical laws.
