A polyhedron moving object dips and dives through a
series of limbo-style dance moves around the perimeter of a larger container
mass. The continuity of linear
translations is disrupted when the points of the moving object encounter the
envelope, triggering an eruption of rotations that carve and eat away at the
stationary mass. Carefully constrained
geometric relationships force the moving object to pierce through the envelope
at three inflection points.
The object’s mechanism of motion is constrained to tracks
along the perimeter envelope and sweeping interior rotation tracks. At the junctures in which it pierces the
envelope, the moving object attaches to door mechanisms which aid in the
rotation. Along the interior volume of
space, the object is forced to tilt and lean to move underneath the network of inner
tracks, at times precariously tipped on-end, at others seemingly plummeting downwards
by its own momentum, all the while challenging the continuity of its own looped
motion with inherent disruptions.
