The work is a video (7’15’’) in which the artist is sitting on a chair, swinging and balancing on the chair’s back legs. The chair is about to fall, but miraculously defies gravity and continues to swing. With the help of very simple video editing – by cutting the video exactly in the moment of the fall - the artist manages to keep the body in balance. Our senses as viewers remain however confused and the action is perceived almost as a science fiction exercise in teleportation.
