7th Heaven

A tangible installation where objects go up and down along a wire

2014

7th Heaven is a tangible, esthetic and playful installation. Personalized movable objects move up and down a string according to each person's physical altitude in real time. The 7th Heaven installation translates our daily movements in a surprising and poetic way. We don't usually worry about our individual altitude at each moment of the day. And yet, we never stop moving above and below sea level. The 7th Heaven installation is a living social sculpture that plays out before our eyes. It is intended to be participative, as each regular visitor to the location can become a part of the installation.
