Miwa Koizumi: Rond Point - Traffic Circle

Rond Point

/ Traffic Circle /

installation with sound/compasses,speakers,sound

I am lost but I don't know why. There is no way for me to find my way. I have tools like a map, a compass but I feel they are broken. I try to rely on my senses but noise breaks my concentration.

Under the path of two speakers which turn in a large circle, many compasses are placed on the floor.

From the speakers you can hear the rhythm of the compass needles amplified and metallic. Randomly the rhythm is broken by feedback.

Normally compasses show the right way, but two passing magnets make madness in the collection. The speakers make the compasses crazy. The needles spin spin spin!!!!
