Grönlund-Nisunen Falling Water, 2019
Glass tube, steel stand, plastic tube, adjustable pump, silicon oil, distilled water
192 x 38 x 38 cm
Falling Water consists of a vertical glass tube, one third of which is filled with distilled water and two thirds with silicone oil. The water on the bottom is pumped up by means of a small digitally controlled pump and falls down through the silicone oil as small droplets. Employing relatively simple but sophisticated means, using magnetism, electric currents, or simple gravitational forces, Tommi Grönlund and Petteri Nisunen create quietly evocative and formally striking works.
