Circus performers balancing on a giant spinning top.

We discover a stranded spinning top, an empty volume, abandoned to its circular trajectory.

Once set in motion by two tightrope walkers, something fascinating takes shape.
A story is then written with the help of gravity.
The duo by mirroring each other seeks a balance of the form, so to reach the moment of suspension or, on the contrary, provokes imbalance, dynamics and rotation.
They walk on this double narrow path, concave and convex, generating unexpected motions as elegance and poetry meet control and skill.

The sculpture that we are looking at then becomes a character in its own right, therefore telling a story that now involves a trio.

This distant cousin of the spinning top accompanied by these two bodies and interactive partners will enable us to create a new visual and circus-like gesture in the public space, which everyone will be free to read in their own way, with a playful or geometric, scientific or dreamy eye.
