The pendulums, suspended at two points, "walk" down sloping bars, keeping up their pendulous movement.
The time it takes to move down a bar depends on its length (approximately
40 cm per hour).
In this way, the "clock" and calendar" sculptures represent preset "times", i.e. 8 hours, 31 days, or 7 hours 9 minutes and 1 second, etc.
In "threats", pendulums carrying stones move along the bars.
The random movement of stones above people's heads menaces the
passer-by. |
