Objects are Distorted than They Appear

At 

The Place We’ve Been

we witness repeatedly

Balanced; inevitably fragile

A

Tongue Twister

keeps trying to

Balance-re-Balance

reiterating that

Just as Nothing is Perfectly Balanced, Nothing is Perfectly Out of Balance

.


No Swaying, Nothing Happens

is

An Awkward Truth

captured by

A Tool for ‘Unmeasurable’

on 

The Flow

emerging through

A Möbius of Inertia

Life is a repetition. However, 'repetition' is not replicated.



Cycles and repetition are fundamental principles of life, but each time new events emerge along the path. Cycles and repetition are not about stability and stasis, which presuppose predictability; rather, they imply the possibility of continuous variation and creation.



By setting aside statistical probability, Gin willingly faces unpredictability as a form of rebellion, aiming to observe how the temporary states of balance and imbalance are integrated into a nonlinear world. Random possibilities scattered at undesignated points manifest as forms of temporality on the unpredictable terrain of life.



An unpredictable switch, the movement of fish in a tank, determines the rotation angle of an electromagnet (or magnet) anew each time. At this time, the pieces placed along the path of the magnet's rotational movement are influenced by the magnet's magnetic force. The magnetized ball inside each piece reacts to the magnetic field, causing the piece to transition from its previous stability to the next (or new) balance. Through the sounds generated in this process, the physical event of losing and recovering balance is extended from a visual experience to an auditory one.
