自由落体 Free Fall Original

Dimension: 30cm×30cm×180cm (16 pieces totally)
Year: 2022
Material: Threaded rod, gasket, timing drop device​

The work is inspired by episodic moments of working with materials in the five years I have been making mechanical installations. When the shims of different diameters, thicknesses and weights fall from the top of the screw at regular intervals, it makes a loud and different frequency sound while driving the screw to shake slightly. 16 sets of shims falling devices are juxtaposed together to form an ensemble about freedom and falling. By appropriating the concept of physics to the art scene and naming the work "Free Fall", I try to reopen the boundaries and stereotypes of physical science: what does it mean to discuss science in the context of art? What is free fall? What is freedom?
