Orb / Rot

A display suspended by a wire rope continues a reciprocating rotational movement based on the principle of a torsion pendulum. On the screen, a video recorded while rotating around a stationary stone is displayed. The rotating display and the camera that recorded the image possess different cycles, and their relationship repeatedly alternates between synchronization and non-synchronization.
Within this condition, the image appears in two ways: as an Orbit, in which the movement circles around the stone, and as a Rotation, in which the stone itself appears to rotate.
Through these two appearances, the image shifts between an optical / distant visual experience that presupposes identification with another viewpoint and a haptic / proximate visual experience that becomes present through the viewer’s bodily engagement.
