The physical laws of buoyancy and gravity are the subject of the huge kinetic work "Marbles". A matter-of-fact but spectacularly illuminated, slowly rotating marble run with a total length of 60 m and a height of 3.5 m, which itself looks like a marble, fascinates with its perfectly coordinated rhythmic interplay of form, movement, light and sound. In the installation by Dutchman Gertjan Adema, a spindle carries an illuminated marble upwards inside the track so that it subsequently rolls back down the spiral-shaped outer wall of the marble run. The playful, simple but nevertheless impressive visual impression is supported and yet counteracted by partly gloomy, partly rather cold sounds, creating a highly concentrated mood. A contemplative immersive work by the Dutch installation artist that casts a spell over you and doesn't want to let go.
This work was made possible by the municipality of Zwolle, with the help of the “Zwolle Culture and Quality Committee”
