The Second Room

350.0 x 295.0 cm
Viafarini

The second room is an unstable structure, a skeleton of wooden sticks held together temporarily by plastic bands. The work is unable to stand alone, it needs a surface (wall) to lean on. Along its perimeter, a network of 980 bells forms an almost invisible grid. The wooden skeleton is crossed by an electric circuit activated by motion sensors: these put in motion four small vibrating motors that shake the entire work. In the absence of the stranger the structure keeps silent, but as soon as a body approaches it the mechanism senses its movement and activates the alarm, the 980 bells start to play with increasing intensity at risk of annoying the visitor and shatter the work
