Lot Essay

‘The installation gives the impression of a huge rainstorm — a rain of pendulums. And it also suggests a crazy magnetic space, with forces pulling in all directions. As you walk around it, you discover that I placed the pendulums so as to create on the floor the visual outline of a slightly irregular sphere, which alludes to infinity’
(T. Trouvé, quoted in F. Pietropaolo, ‘Tatiana Trouvé’, in Art in America, 1 March 2010).


Five slender pendulums hang from the ceiling to the floor, mysteriously tracing different trajectories. This fine rainfall of metal invades the space yet leaves us unable to detect the invisible forces that pull the pendulums in different directions.
