2010, prototype bubble-dispersing pedestal, mixed media, development of a prototype (artistic engineering), bubble machine, electric fans, engines and mechanical devices hidden in a pedestal of 40 cm x 40 cm x 175 cm. Collaboration with Hagen Betzwieser. KiK, Kolderveen, the Netherlands.
Chasing the Ephemeral, RC III is a proposal for a permanent artwork in a public or semi-public space. By presenting the fleeting phenomenon of a soap bubble on a white pedestal, a classic presentation format, the bubble becomes a sculptural artefact. Soap bubbles of impressive diameters, shimmering with colour, cling briefly to the pedestal, and are then released, one at a time. Ideally, the work should be installed in a place where the finite nature of human life is evident.
