More about this work
Imagine that the orange structure of this ‘swing’ continues under the ground, and that this connects this work with similar examples in other places. Then we can move together in a motion that can be felt all over the world!
Working together and connection are the focus, also in this individual model. The swing seats accommodate three people at a time. All those sitting on the swing must align their movements with others. If it works, you swing together up high into the air.
By swinging, you turn the potential energy into shared motion. The work invites you to explore the power of play and teamwork. And thus to consider subjects such as democracy, collective action and social cohesion. The swings are therefore much more than just a game. They are an experiment in activating collective energy – energy that might be used to change the way we treat the planet and our vision of ‘living together’.
