The work explores playful interaction between object and image. The two video screens show a person engaged in freestyle football. His balancing skills make the ball spin effortless in the air.
The displays themselves serve as counter weights of a ceiling mounted apparatus that keeps them in equilibrium. Motors give small impulses to shift the balance from side to side.
