Marianne’s post introduced Eliasson’s water pendulum, a water stream illuminated by strobe light to highlight the unpredictable flow of water. This reminded me of Daniel Wurtzel’s work which shows the chaotic nature of air currents and how it can be made visible through various materials. however, rather than focusing on the erratic movements of the air currents Wurtzel has tried to highlight the fluidity and beauty of this unstable movement by often incorporating dancers or other performers to interact with the materials trapped in his invisible vortex.
