2,000 tennis balls

What a beautiful installation.
I would love to do something like this in the entry to the recital hall here,
something with a connection to the 1,000 paper cranes project.
To me, the trajectory of these tennis balls is such a beautiful visual representation
of the physical trajectory of sound waves and the emotional trajectory of human connection.

p.s. watch the video below. It is worth it!



Spanish visual artist Ana Soler is known for working with a multitude of objects from dangling hundreds of pairs of scissors or spoons, to creating dense clouds of string, coins, and paper cranes. In her most recent work, Causa-Efecto (Cause & Effect), she hung 2,000 tennis balls in spaces throughout the Mustang Art Gallery in Alicante, Spain. The balls are carefully aligned in suspended trajectories that appear to bounce off walls, floors, and other surfaces providing an uncanny sense of motion similar to a photograph taken with a strobe light.
