Twister II

In 2011, I decided to make a new Twister with a floor stand that would allow it to be moved and toured around various exhibitions. Twister II is designed differently than the previous public version. The roundels have their largest diameter at the center of the sculpture and become smaller at its ends. It is 16 m long instead of 25 m like the previous Twister. It also has counterweights instead of the discs balancing themselves.

Twister II has 20 circular transparent rounds in clear primary colors that are positioned and twisted in relation to each other like a large screw. The whole structure rotates slowly and a large endless wave movement of colors and light reflections moves in the room. From a distance, the visual expression is that the roundels "flow together" like a large body in motion. The work gives a powerful visual energy to the room through its size, scope, color and movement. It is possible to move in and through Twister to experience it up close. The lighting causes its shadows and colors to be reflected in the surrounding space.

Materials: Twinwall plastic, steel, aluminium, mechanics, electronics. Length: 16 m. Largest rotation diameter: 280cm, color disc diameter: 55 - 160cm
