SPRING RING SPRUNG SPUNK_ A WIDE OPEN STUDIO

Is an open studio for visitors to extent their limits and expand their perceptions.

An interactive playground for eyes and bodies with ten “Work and Wonder” stations.

Made out of extension springs, citrus fruits, horse gear and floor texts of organised thoughts.

An edited version of “Push It” from Salt’N’Pepe is the permanent soundtrack.

‘Work and wonder’ stations:

In the installation, the floor text is a composition of movement cues expressed in the language of The Anastasia Method.

Using quotes, song titles, and truisms, the text poetically suggests body positions, emotional states, and associative bodily reflections.

Each station is designed to be self-explanatory, organized into the categories of Anatomy, Action, Attitude, and Affect.
