Strike Installation, 2020

Strike is inspired by the growing feeling of threat and distrust that prevails in modern society. The man is alone in a big space where a big ball has thrown over a lot of chairs. Is everyone gone, or was the man there alone? Does he feel threatened, or is he too deeply self-involved to feel anything?  Was he the first, or the last? Is this a frozen moment or will the ball roll further? Or did it stop behind the man and he was the lucky one? Was it a coincidence that the ball rolled in his direction or something more malicious?

The animation in Strike adds a time dimension: light emerges; the day passes, the evening falls into an endless, hypnotic repetition. The passing light makes it unclear whether the situation is frozen or can progress.
