Nick Laessing presents two mechanised sculptures. While both are characterised by instability and movement, each creates a unique set of effects and meanings. 1000RPM TV functions only when activated. At a certain moment its television tube, seemingly obsolete, turns from sculptural object into a video spectacle of the planetary cosmos. In the second work a small modern chandelier, domestic and decorous, trembles very slightly, from time to time, hinting at earthquakes and unpredictable disasters.
