ŽILVINAS KEMPINAS: Nautilus, 2021
Installation
Nautilus introduces a large round disk suspended horizontally from a single cable wire in the ceiling. Ball chains drip along its perimeter, cascading in different lengths, while the sculpture is slowly revolving. The rotation of this work—turning clockwise, slowing down to a stop and then reversing—creates overlapping optical scenes that continuously evolve into new shapes. The installation plays on the intersecting movement of its materials, inciting the sensation of presence through vibration and movement. The sculpture is entirely transparent, shaped by gravity and toned by its own internal light.
