Balance From Within / Jacob Tonski (US)
Equilibrium is a fragile state. In interpersonal relationships too, the risk of losing one’s balance is always present. Starting with a 170-year-old sofa, Jacob Tonski created a sculpture that metaphorically represents the delicate equilibrium in situations played out on and around such a sofa—a get-acquainted chat, sex, or just couch potatoes watching TV. A sophisticated, computer-controlled mechanism enables this fine old piece of furniture to balance on only one of its four legs.
