A Reverse-Spinning Droplet - The Silent Gravity of SunSun
In A reverse-spinning water droplet, Sun Sun crafts a videoinstallation of extreme minimalism and expandedtemporality. Over 47 minutes, a single water dropletslowly rotates counterclockwise across a smooth circularsurface,compressing time into a threadlike,nearlysuspended trace.
Constructedthrough optical devices and lightinterference, the droplet transcends physical realism.Bathed in cool tones of blue and violet, it becomes atechnological incantation-poised between abstractionand poetry. The counterclockwise motion subtly defieshuman perceptions of causality, pulling viewers into ameditative destabilization of time and gaze.
Rather than functioning as a mere symbolic exercise, thework allows materiality to speak: the droplet embodiesboth resistance and submission, evoking planetary orbitsand slowed tears, life cycles and acts of seeing. In its silentreversal, Sun Sun creates a delicate yet profound collapseof internal order, confronting viewers with the raw natureof perception itself.
