RIBBON – DOUBLE LOOP
Kinetic Sculpture
Tripod, hula hoops, engine
170 × 100 × 100 cm, 2011
Two hula hoop rings are connected to form a loop and are set in motion by a motor, creating continuous optical variations. On a theoretical level, the work ironically combines the kinetic art of the early 1960s with the simultaneous rise in popularity of the hula hoop, creating a doubly looped situation.
