TEETER-TROTTER — Sara Arosio

TEETER-TROTTER imagines the future as a balance between bodies, forces, and relationships.

A seesaw, a teeter-trotter, takes shape through hybrid figures: a disproportionately large man lifts his leg, transforming his own body into the very structure of the game. Upon it, a creature remains suspended above the ground, while a third figure supports the effort, making balance possible. There is no external structure: the game is sustained entirely by bodies collaborating with one another. The rules are not predetermined, but emerge through relationships and through the necessity of holding together what is fragile, unstable, and uncertain. The image proposes the future as a collectively constructed playground, a search for balance that can never be achieved once and for all, but must instead be continuously negotiated, supported, and reinvented.
