about the artwork
A ball floats on a jet of water.
It turns on the jet, wants to run down it like a yo-yo on a string, but never reaches the bottom, remaining at the same height.
height. The opposing forces of the water and gravity create a state of suspension.
The white ball stabilizes all by itself at a point of happiness, in the balance of opposites, between yin and yang, so to speak. This floating is paradoxical and at the same time symbolic: stability is only possible in constant motion!
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.
