SKY REACHING HAMMOCK

Time is the greatest hole.

"SKY-REACHING HAMMOCK", 2000, Poznan, Poland.
Project for kinetic outdoor sculpture. Proposed total dimensions: 1800 x 7000 x 7000 cm. Steel, aircraft cable, 3 wind turbines with reduction gears. 
Turbines with propellers are pointed to various directions in relation to the wind. By the system of gears they lift or lower down the particular sides of the crew module that hangs freely among free poles, so form rotates very slowly around the axis and also moves up and down, left and right within the limited area among the poles. The crew module is designed for only one spectator who can get inside and experience slow changes of its position against the horizon while the form is suspended among the poles. Actually, direction of very slow, constant movement of the form is unpredictable because depends of the wind and it's also reduced by reduction gear. Slow motion of the crew module with a spectator inside is more like a dynamic levitation with the only purpose to give oneself Up to Space and to stop oneself in the Middle of Time.
