Description:
Spherical Vortex is the path of a flashlight bulb made by connecting three separate whirling movements of different velocity. Starting from a single point, the light-source makes a spiral of growing radius, describing a 'sphere'. Having reached its final limit, the light spirals back into a point-source state. Parallel to the exhibition of the moving device, 4 photos are on display which were made with different exposures (consecutive or long exposure), revealing the path of light that is invisible to the naked eye. (A.Cs.)
