Egill Sæbjörnsson Rotating Unit, 2010 Single-channel video projection with chicken wire object, rotating unit and sound
Sæbjörnsson’s work is an approach to experience, a mode of behaviors, a play that creates singular arrangements. A shape made of chicken wire is mounted onto a small rotating display. A video of stripes and other shapes is projected over the form as it turns. This creates new shapes of color and light on the chicken wire as well as on the wall behind it. The piece also incorporates music and projections in a way that is both comical and poetic. 152
