wood, electrical motor, contact, wheels, pillow
Format variable

Exhibition view: Neue Welt, Frankfurter Kunstverein, Frankfurt, 2001.

Moving Bench consists of two benches positioned in the middle of the exhibition space, at first glance looking like average benches of a museum institution. Each bench is positioned at different angles to the architectural construction of the space. They are motorized, and thus reposition the seated visitor by moving the whole structure a calculated distance in the space when activated by the weight of the body.
