Bilance

Adam Hejduk

The object balances between sculpture, musical instrument and metaphorical symbols. For many, glass means fragility and instability, while the truth is the opposite. "Balance" overturns our experience with the material and points to new directions of use. The tension between the glasses and the strings can be felt by sight and heard at the same time when we play the strings. The glass panes here function as a sounding board, or sound box. The strings are in contact with the edges and transmit vibrations, which are subsequently amplified and at the same time guided by contact microphones into the speaker.
