COMPASS SPINNING SWING

in collaboration with the carpenter artist EmmanuelSoxteptoïd and carver Ole Prietz for the Freqs Of Nature festival 2018 near Berlin

 Made of scrappd steel and wood,  carved with chainsaw.


The idea started when we found an old wooden wheel, and took its outer metal ring off . Looking at it we decided to create a spinning top with the form of a compass, surounded by light sitting plateforms. Attached on a solid bearing, the people could spin and swing towards the cardinal points .
