The video work "Wonder Wheel" shows the famous ride in Coney Island, New York, standing majestically and mightily at the southernmost point of Brooklyn. The wheel turns, inviting the viewer to enter a world of change and new possibilities. For me, as the artist behind the work, the Wonder Wheel marks the beginning of a lasting change in my own artistic practice. It symbolises a time of further development and experimentation, in which I face new challenges and expand my creative boundaries.
The absence of the gondolas and any presence of people in the video work metaphorically refers to the focus of a moment. The video work draws the viewer's attention away from the action and hustle and bustle normally associated with an amusement park, but points to the beauty and significance of the moment. The Wonder Wheel becomes a symbol of the change and growth necessary in an artist's life to evolve and embark on new creative paths. The video work invites the viewer to immerse themselves in this world of possibilities and enjoy the moment as the wheel turns and time seems to stand still.
