A Hand’s Turn is a site-specific, kinetic and interactive sculptural installation;

The repetitions of our sculptural forms respond to the architectural repetitions of The Maltings’ façade facing the river, the conic shapes echo the round and pointed roofs around the location, the path created by the cones is mirroring the path along the river. The colour of the chosen metal will dull down with time into more earthy tones and will conversate with the immediate surroundings. Weathering and decay, according to Bachelard, will strengthen the experience of causality, reality, and time. Adding to our installation a sense of history and belonging to the site and the town.

By creating an enticing architectural space, an alternative path to the Riverside Walk, we aimed to engage the viewers with the Kinetic aspect of our sculptural installation. An internal mechanism creates a silent, free spinning motion for each cone that can be activated by the viewer.

The cones’ heights are from one to two meters, enticing a bodily interaction to viewers of all ages. The participation to the creation of the piece adds another layer of interaction with the sculpture; it will entice the viewer to walk amongst the rows searching for their own contribution.
