Electric motors, steel needles, porcelain plates.

Variable size.

Art installation in which about 15 small electric motors spin a steel needles ranging from 1.6 meters up to 2 meters high on where porcelain plates turns in a precarious balance. In this cosmology of spinning plates if one of them loses the center of the balance fall rushing into the vacuum and breaking to reach the ground, destroying the circular perfection. The perception of the overall balance from stroke, the unforeseeable, the ever-changing repetition of unstable elements that create a hypnotic effect contrasts with the atmosphere of the play, the circus evokes. The dishes are containers, limits on themselves defining a within one out, could be understood as metaphors of being.
