The artwork is 2.7 meters tall.
This chair is assembled from components that once carried a city’s waste stream. Conveyor chain paddles form the column; above them sits the gearbox of a Discreen sorter, where waste was separated and prepared for renewal; at the top rests an eccentric cam gearbox by Sumitomo—a mechanical heartbeat that once ran without pause.
For fifteen years, these machines worked in repetitive motions. Now they become this chair, like a forlorn and broken-winged deity above our heads. It does not invite you to sit down, but to look up.
