The main concept of this piece is about " Time Control". Clocks always represent the elapse of times and it never stops. This piece have a similar structure as the clock and I want to make the wearer feel the "Control" of the time by using the similar but controllable operating mechanism.
The piece works like a Pendulum Clock but the operating mechanism is slightly different, the power for the whole piece comes from the wearer's body movement. When the wearer move their body, this will give a power to the pendulum and it will knock the ratchet wheel to drive the escapement mechanism in the middle to make all cogs move one by one. When the wearer stop moving their body, the piece will stop moving. The vintage Barcoo style appearance of the piece also give the wearer a feeling that they are travel and lost in time.
这个系列的灵感是关于‘时间控制’。时钟总是被用来比喻时间的不断流逝。这件作品采用了与时钟相似的结构。被设计过的时钟结构允许佩戴者通过身体动作来控制其中的齿轮系统,作品希望通过这样的方式使佩戴者感受‘控制时间’的感觉。
作品内部结构与摆钟相似, 不同的是齿轮系统的动能来源于佩戴者的身体动作。当佩戴者晃动身体,身体产生的动能将带动钟摆产生晃动,从而带动内部的棘轮系统与齿轮系统产生传动。当佩戴者停止移动身体,齿轮系统也将停止运作。同时,作品本身的复古巴洛克风格设计也令佩戴者产生时间迷失感。
