2023

leather whip, cable, motor, tripod

’Stromschlag’ (2023) is an electrified leather whip that, when plugged into the wall, thrashes wildly. The kinetic force eventually snaps the whip from its outlet and socket, killing the power and leaving the whip at a standstill. When plugged back into the socket, the one-time show can be repeated endlessly. The time it takes to unplug itself varies per iteration.
