Tablespoons

Tablespoons is a second version of project Egg built in 2012. These kinetic sculptures deal with the behaviour of matter and the control exercised over it by electromechanical devices. The movements of the mechanism are constantly repeated and put four eggs in balance exercises. Sometimes, those eggs pass from one spoon to another, driving the visitor attention on the risk taken during the action. When there is no egg involved, the spoons perform a poetic choreography. The work highlights the exchange between the machine and the movement of matter while revealing the poetic side of everyday life.
