The iceberg is placed on a platform at the visitors’ eye-level, making it appear to float in an imaginary volume of water. If it is removed, the whole structure collapses. It is the counterweight that keeps the rest of the sculpture in balance.
Tipping Point ’s iceberg hangs like a loose tooth, at the end of the lowest of the mobile’s moving arms. "Tipping Point ," 2021 Mobile construction: aluminum, steel, rubber, cable, electric motors, gears, control panel 1800 × 1800 × 700 cm Sketches, "Tipping Point" "Tipping Point," glass sketch The aim is to illustrate challenging questions about the environment, society and morality (…) It is an example of artistic research conducted through mutual exchanges between art and science, in which scientists participate in shaping the artwork whereas the artwork and its impact on the audience in turn inspire the scientists’ work, including in the areas of moral philosophy, sociology and climate psychology.” (Gustaf Arrhenius, Director, Institute of Futures Studies Professor, Practical Philosophy)īigert & Bergström. “Tipping Point is an embodiment of the complex interactions between our decisions today, climate change, tipping points and conditions for life in the future. Will it collapse, or will equilibrium and stability be achieved? Like the stressed biosphere, threatened by movements towards irreversible cascades of tipping points, the sculpture teeters on the brink of catastrophe. Through its imposing scale and unlikely construction, the sculpture induces a feeling of insecurity, the sense that it could all come crashing down at any second. The performance is a loop, which completes its cycle every fifteen minutes. On one platform that has a root system on its underside, someone is swirling through a flag dance, and on a rocky formation in a diorama-like cross-section of the wilds, an orienteer is sitting listening to the weather forecast. The meteorologist, placed in the centre of a satellite dish, collects information about tomorrow through various weather instruments. The people moving on the platforms assume different roles the weather god plays on an old theatrical machine once used to simulate the sounds of weather such as storms and rain on stage. These platforms are occupied by actors whose movements set the mobile rocking the counterweights consist of a slowly melting iceberg and a black sphere.
The mobile comprises various rotating rocker arms, onto which platforms and counterweights are hung. Tipping Point is a large kinetic sculpture, sited on the floor of a darkened room. Not for children under 3 years.The performance/installation Tipping Point was supported by the FORMAS Foundation and it has been developed as a collaboration between Bigert & Bergström and researchers from the Institute for Futures Studies (IFFS) within the framework of the research program Climate Ethics and Future Generations.
