The Kinetics of the Invisible addresses the space we enter as not static or consistent and uses the gallery’s constantly flowing and evolving environment to create tangible forms from the otherwise invisible matters, which bear witness to changes and cycles.
A pipe hangs from the ceiling, in which a needle is attached that is artificially held below the freezing point. The sculptural work transmutes and makes visible the physical form of humidity in the space over the course of its installation by way of condensation produced by the humidity of the space that collects and freezes on its surface. A timer switches off the cooling of the needle at intervals sothat the frozen water drips and accumulates inside a container, like rain before evaporating again, similar to the natural water cycle.
