Navigator
2011
Porcelain, magnet, iron dust
approx. 7 x 2 x 2 cm
Edition of 20
The "Navigator" - an elegant porcelain finger that protrudes from the wall and indicates the direction. The fingertip is magnetic and coated with iron dust.
Many creatures have the gift of being able to orient themselves to the magnetic field of the earth, but man, the supposed "crown of creation", lacks it. Metaphorically, the index finger points us the way to a heightened sensitivity towards our earth.
