Mirrored in space, two light pendulums orbit solar collectors mounted on poles. Driven by their own luminosity, the pendulums never come to rest. sweet zenith displays elemental forces that are transformed from one into the next, repeatedly colliding in chaotic motion. Sound becomes light, light becomes movement and movement again becomes sound in a perpetual feedback loop. Sounds and light bounce off the walls and constantly change course. The exhibition space itself generates and limits the entropy of the spectacle and witnesses a seemingly endless trial of opposing forces.
