Jon Kessler(USA): The World is Cuckoo (Clock)

VernissageTV hat diese kinetische Skulptur in Zürich gefilmt, wo sie gerade im Rahmen der MANIFESTA 11 zu sehen ist. Im Infotext des Video heißt es:  “ The artwork appears to be driven by the tiny tourbillon mechanism from inside a watch that was specially designed by Officine Panerai’s master watchmaker Adriano Toninelli. The miniature movement of the tourbillon is transferred through cylindrical zoetropes up to a neon sign that reads ‘the world is cuckoo clock’. Actually the sculpture is powered by other means – making the hoax a metaphor for ‘cuckoo’ manipulations of power. During Manifesta 11, the work is on display at the Les Ambassadeurs shop in Bahnhofstrasse in Zürich.“
