Zoro FEIGL Untangling the tides
Zoro Feigl’s work is composed of movements and various traces left by such movements. His work is a potent yet elegant installation created by the combination of kinetic energy delivered to ropes and repeating patterns. In <Untangling the tides>(2014) which is a creation made by the rise and fall of the sea, the sea forms a shore and the shore then contributes in turn to the formation of the sea. Two thick ropes spread out in the space do not cease to stop like the sea pushing the waters to the shore. As if imitating the tide coming in and going out, the ropes come into contact, moves across, and then get loose again. In <Hoop>(2015), black hoops run back and forth along a steel pipe, spinning and twirling from one end to the next like a game of some sort children play. At times, the hoops violently bounce off while twisting and turning, and then suddenly dance gracefully in perfect harmony. The smaller hoops easily pass through the larger hoops, ceaselessly disrupting each other’s movements, bumping into each other, and create a rhythmic choreography. <Poppy>(2012) in which a gigantic tarpaulin spreads out in an elegant dance of waves and curls somehow resembles fragile and delicate poppy flowers. However, there is an enchanting force at work in this hypnotizing dance. Aggressive battle between gravity, friction and centrifugal force is manifested. |
