In this kinetic light installation two balanced aluminium tubes spin slowly, illuminating their movement and environment. A light at one end, and a brass weight at the other, with the centre of mass at the central shaft. By shifting internal balances, and affected by external forces, such as air currents, a choreography of movement and light emerges.
Inspired by the concept of the barycentre used in physics and astronomy, describing the balance point, or centre of mass of two or more bodies that orbit one another.
The installation runs on internal battery, so it can be installed in nature without external power.
