The fulcrum of prescience
Description:
THE FULCRUM OF PRESCIENCE consists of 5 mechanized paintings traveling between floors and walls of a residential home.
The sculptures represent thresholds between the metaphysical world and the one in which we recognize by its visual representation.
Combined, the 5 sculptures create a mechanical clock each with different movements representing distinct ways of calculating time-cycles, moment and infinity.
