Sur le fil

„Sur le fil“ is a kinetic sound sculpture, motorized shadow play triggered by sounds. “Sur le fil” is a contemplation on the fragile connection between the nature and the human world, represented here by human-made fictional machinery. The protagonists – kinetic sculptures of this shadow play act like in a dream, a fairy tale, moving between the world of materiality and the world of shadow – of immateriality. The movements of the kinetic sculpture are controlled in real time by sounds which are also performed live.

Filmed and recorded at Blöde Dritte Mittwoch, Vienna and Hippocampus Series in Klosterneuburg, Austria
