„It is a jungle of rusty spikes moving in the wind. A storm emerges from the depths of metallic objects..“
RE LIFE will be a kinetic relief made of rusty iron and will be hydraulically animated (height 3 m, width 6 m, depth 0.8 m and weighing approximately 1.5 tons. The relief consists of three layers:
– the first layer houses spikes 1 to 2 meters high at the top and bottom.
– the second layer contains a circle made of spikes that moves back and forth lengthwise while emitting a boom- ing sound
– the third layer is a background made of rusty sheet met- al, which has the appearance of a cave wall or of an end- less landscape.
- the third layer is the background of rusty sheet metal, which looks like a cave wall or the landscape of infinity.
The sound of the relief is created by the movement of the individual iron parts. The relief can be controlled both manually and by a computer program. The first sketch was created in 2019, the frame was completed in 2020 and the first kinetic element, which forms the center of the relief, so to speak, was installed in 2022. The “RELIEF 1.” produced in February 2021 can be seen as a miniature model for the large kinetic relief “RE LIFE”. The two photos of “RELIEF 1.” in various stages of work show the different layers. Through the power of imagination we can insert the different layers into the existing frames of “RE LIFE” and set them in motion.
