Visual bells

Antonio Barrese - 2007
A gigantic installation made with a series of swinging pendulums with a lenght of 17m occupying a 40x20x20m space. The visitors pulling the "bell ropes" activates three pendulums; accordingly these will start swinging and blinking of coloured light.
Due to the oscillatory movement these lights will leave a track similar to the one left by falling stars.
The visual divide depends on the speed and the amplitude of each pendulum and the interaction between the colours and the blinking frequency.
