Pendulum (work in progress)
what will remain?
Centred around the potential of massive societal pendulum shifts, and our tendency as humans to go too far and initiate an inevitable pendulum back-swing, we investigate the physicality of balance, critical mass, and shift. This work is rooted in a thought experiment, questioning whether the past 200 years of consumption and ‘progress’ may lead us to the endpoint of a pendulum swing, where we may soon swing back to a future of non-consumption, a moment that more closely resembles the distant past. What vestiges will remain? Work-in-progress, then known as Future:Retro, performed at Kinetic Studio, 2024.
