Trope
2012, 2016
A rope hung from the ceiling spins around in a random fashion, powered by a motor. The rope bends and twists, while the energy that it accumulates is unleashed at some point with a violent movement. Are there any expressions that are beyond the scope of this rope? In addition to stones and rocks, the objects placed at the bottom of this rope also include drums.
The title of this work means “to turn,” while its etymology comes from the ancient Greek tropḗ (pure expression of power), from which the word “entropy” also derives.
