The circle: the sculpture, the circle, is based on an old law of physics. The two entirely congruent halves are connected by an axle set below the true centre. The fact that the axle is divided and held by a piston rod means that the sculpture can not only seesaw but also outlines a segment of a circle with its movement. This segment can be extended to form a sphere in the viewer's imagination. The fact that it only quasi-rests on two points means that 650kg can be set in motion with one finger or by a child. The weight is not essential here, it is the fact that sheer mass can be set in motion. Material: steel; dimensions: 300cm x 150cm x 50cm; weight: 650kg
