Studio Vertigo – End Over End

The slinky is a familiar toy to most cultures and generations. In this giant form it is both nostalgic and surrealistic, playfully transforming buildings and rooftops into a virtual playground. Each coil of the enormous spring is illuminated in turn to create the familiar flowing form of a slinky tumbling end-over-end into the shadows. The oversized scale makes the viewer feel ‘smaller’ – proportions between you and the toy are reversed as if we have somehow shrunk and ended up in Alice’s Wonderland.
End Over End playfully questions our role as viewers, disrupting our usual relationship with objects and our environment.
