Marbles

This giant rotating marble run plays with inner growth and outer expression.

This giant and rotating Marble run plays with the exchange and connection between inner growth and outer expression. The luminous marble travels between these worlds with its two movements; the slow inside and upward movement, and the expressive outside movement. The rotating frame of the marble run pushes the marble upwards again, which gives the connection between these worlds. The different light patterns of the LED-strips represent the different processes of growth and expression.

The giant marble run gives an enchanting interplay of geometry, movement, light and sound. The slowly turning spiral shaped marble run and repeating orbit of the marble gives an impressive work in a joyful and alienating ambience. The entire marble run rotates and has the shape of a globe, like the marble itself. The luminous marble follows a spiral shaped track along the surface of the globe. In this way the shape of the marble is repeated in the installation and the marble runs in a moving marble run, and a movement in a movement and a shape in a shape is created.
