Concentric Islands
“Our palette cleanser is titled Concentric Islands”.
Soundtrack of a cheesy older man talking about the nature of friendship, over tacky 80’s music.
Smith takes a round glass bottle and moves it in a circle so the water inside moves in a whirlpool.
They translate this circle to allow the circular structures of the body to generate continuous spiralling pathways of movement. Smith passes the bottle to Longley, who takes up the circling, and passes it to an audience member;
“Please keep the circle moving”
The bottle travels around everyone in the lab, and the movement (to some extent) also.
