A two-meter high automatic car wash brush dances to live music. You just have to come and experience it
Thordur Hans Baldursson's artistic world blurs the line between human performers and static sculptures. His “living installations” are an ongoing exercise in questioning objects and systems that we often take for granted.
In his earlier work The men's choir in the wall, for example, seven neckties swing back and forth on the wall, each responding to an individual voice in a pre-recorded choir. In Queue/Cue, a two-meter-high automatic car wash brush dances to live music. Sculptures and performers merge, creating a symbiotic relationship that transcends their individual functions.
The musicians line up and wait for their cue, while the brush awaits its cue from that same line. One by one, the musicians take their seats, connect and begin to play. Their music determines the brush's movement - and vice versa. The brush becomes a dancer, with fluid turns, but also a conductor with wild hair and sharp, precise movements.
