Nevertheless - an ardent desire.
The metal chain of a swing is changed to ceramics. Swinging on a ceramic-suspended swing is a different experience from what we know of. The audience can hear the clear clanging sound created by the ceramic chains hitting each other, as well as a creaking sound that implies the forces acting on the chains. These clear and fragile sounds arouse a certain anxiety and pleasure in the audience.
The audience’s entire senses are concentrated in the movement of the swing.
The purpose of the work is to make the audience swing to the highest point, where the swing is on the verge of breaking off but never actually breaking. It presents the audience a familiar, yet slightly different experience.
