about the artwork
Flow patterns
Silvery threads run across anthracite-colored surfaces.
They appear elastic, like mercury, constantly changing direction and even flowing upwards at times, defying gravity.
Here, water balances between wetting and cohesion - a "free" flowing state that is normally quickly transient, but here remains permanent thanks to a specially coated surface.
Gerhard Zsambok Österreich
Gerhard Zsambok launched a research project in 1988 that deals with the properties and abilities of water and has not only shown his kinetic objects in numerous exhibitions, but has also received prizes and awards for them. Based on drawings of his concepts, form and function dominate his water sculptures, which produce enigmatic, little-known phenomena and effects of water. His "magic of water" is based on the continuous renewal of flowing water without human intervention.
