Centrifuge 離心機
2017
Centrifuge is a sculptural installation that brings together projections of digital
videos and a range of materials into a complex, roughly semicircular assemblage.
Thin bamboo scaffolding supports torn pieces of paper, attached to the structure
with clips and tape, which serve as screens for the projection of videos. Moving
images are also projected onto the walls and floor of the space. Many of the
videos were made by Sarah Sze on her mobile phone. Taken together, the footage
offers a collection of snapshots and fragments, depicting sunsets, a bird in flight,
a cheetah, the movement of water, a child sleeping, the Pyramids of Giza,
television static, and much more. Papers and other objects are placed on the
floor, along with electric fans that cause the suspended paper screens to flutter.
The installation blurs analogue and digital technologies and offers a physical
immersion into a digital space, an oblique commentary on the way we understand
and relate to the world by creating, consuming, and collecting images.
