AZIMUTH

2021

Azimuth is a kinetic timepiece consisting of 12 germicidal UV-C lamps in a conical structure. A gyro controlled reaction wheel accelerates and decelerates to ‘tick’ the work between bulbs creating a clockwise circular orbit around its tether. Though the work sterilizes the space, it also makes it equally inhospitable, and must be viewed through a transparent curtain to prevent skin and cornea damage.
