Rotation

Artist Inka Bell

Halkosuontie 88, 00660 Helsinki

Indoor Sculpture

Limited access: the work is available to view for the users of the premises only.

The kinetic installation Rotation by Inka Bell is located in the renovated facilities of Pakila Comprehensive School and Youth Centre. The installation is 2.5 metres high and 1.9 metres wide and covers the wall of the dining hall with cylinder-shaped pieces that can be rotated. The cylinders are painted with two ombre colours: one side is gradient white and the other gradient blue. The installation’s visuals change when the cylinders are rotated, as their colours blend into one another. The kinetic installation invites the audience to test and observe how even a small motion can change its appearance. The rotation may produce a random pattern or a calmingly monochrome, i.e. single-colour, surface.

Visual artist Inka Bell mainly works in the expanded field of printmaking. In her art, Bell explores the relationship between the two-dimensional and the three-dimensional, through material, colour, surface and repetition.

The work belongs to the City of Helsinki’s art collection, which is managed and curated by HAM.
