The work “Unsettled” is a continuous performance by kinetic sculptures and the audience which kept going on throughout the exhibition.
Anzai creates simple-structured machines by making impromptu combinations of plastic-made everyday items and motors. They display complex, unexpected movements as if they are creatures with own will. Although they are products by the artist, they are out of the artist’s control.
The kinetic sculptures change the compositions of everyday items in the installation and break down by themselves coincidentally. And those creatures force the audience to be in a relationship with them by interrupting the audience’s passage or making noise. In the exhibition place, the sculptures and the audience are on the same being as actants.
