Serial swing

Kasteel van Rhoon, Rhoon, The Netherlands, 2009.
Metal chains, metal profiles and connections, Asobe wood, metal cables. Serial Swing for five people: 285 x 163 x 20 cm.
Serial Swing has adaptable number of seats and dimensions, to fit the space that is hosting it.

With Serial Swing, five individual swings are connected to each other through a small chain and hanged on the structural beams of the attic of a castle. The sculptural device had to be used at least by 3 people, in order to work properly. The swing that normally gives emotions to one person becomes a device for collective ones. A person alone would feel very lonely in this swing! In order to enjoy it, people have to collaborate and synchronize with each other, generating at the same time a huge amount of energy.

This work was made possible with the support of Fonds BKVB.
