The Study
Rotorama is a study, an open project, an experimental method of form-finding where material, motion, and forces are deliberately brought into collision. It reveals what often remains hidden: the moment when control and chance merge. I create situations where materials, motion, and forces interact freely. From this interplay of control and chance, new dynamics and forms emerge.
The Process
The project is based on the principle of rotation. The spinning motion sets the material into a state where it can unfold — or resist. I don’t work against the material but let it decide what it needs to find its form. Whether molten tin, aluminium, plaster, or chocolate — each material becomes a protagonist, reshaping the rules of the experiment. Opposing it is a counterpart — such as oil sand, salt, or ice — that creates resistance and co-shapes the process. The final form emerges from the interplay of gravity, centrifugal force, material behavior, and intuition.
The Objects
I understand Rotorama as a deliberately open process. It doesn’t start with a finished object, but with the question: What happens when material, motion, and chance collide? This gives rise to objects that carry traces of energy, process, and material properties. Each is unique, each a frozen moment between planning and spontaneous creation.
