All Things Fall, 3D Zoetrope

Matt Collishaw is a British artist with a rather compelling body of work. There's a Hydroponic House, Large Scale Projections and Bizarre Technical Installations just to name a few. However, I am smitten with the series of 3D Printed Zoetropes he has created in collaboration with Sebastian Burdon.

Seria Ludo is the most recent of the Zoetropes, an enormous chandelier that spins to create animation. Equally impressive are previous iterations on the same idea - All Things Fall, Garden of Un-earthly Delights and Throbbing Gristle all depict large scale animations through persistence of vision. The characters are brutal in a Renaissance kind of way but that gives the whole project an air of timelessness, as if these massive art machines were just unearthed and restored.
