ART GALLERY / Text translated by Google / This table is the result of kinetic canvas 12 x 60 cm 40 zodiac painted in 2003 and accepted 12 gods of wind, the 32 created by Holbein in 1523 for "Carta Marina.
The motive of the Gods blowing on old maps is quite common, however, the main idea came to me from a world map of Albrecht Dürer, around which winds blow in the form of angels who run the celestial sphere . The gods of wind Holbein seemed to me far more convincing. I wanted to emulate that in my own way on the theme of the clock instead of ringing the hours, starts a full rotation of the Earth (represented by the half-sphere) anticlockwise, with a simultaneous rotation of the twelve independent arrays (mounted on curved frame) and this, in the clockwise a watch with a slower tempo than the last. Special extra each god of the wind moves independently, with a slight swing round on its axis, and this throughout the rotation, giving a wave motion in all winds, which blow continually and in another direction, but always to our planet! So thanks to an integrated electronic mechanism, the clock shows the hours by turning in 100 seconds, with or without the accompaniment of a musicyour of your choice, replacing the cuckoo clocks are well known in Germany's Black Forest. To give more strength to this antagonism, the gods are in monochrome black on white canvas blank, facing the planet in full color. Correspondence of the Gods and the elements and beating time with nature while the earth colors.
Briefly the characters or the like present on the earth at the center and the most visible, the ouroboros biting its tail, a sign of resurgence. A pad marked with the monogram of Philhelm falls from the sky. On the ground and the following one another in a circle without beginning or end: An old man to death holbanien accompanied by a skeleton musician - or a half-god Silenus carrying anthropomorphic fruit vegetable fruit or vegetables - A naked child ran off crying and running - A brown bear is blowing in a bag (or pipes over time and regions) - A troika (Russian = the number three) driven by a coachman in livery and driven by three crayfish carries a child who symbolizes the birth - A dwarf dressed entirely "overlaps" a crayfish - Follow our old holbanien ....
Ouroboros : (Greek = biting its tail) eternal cycle of nature, attested in Mesopotamia and Egypt since the sixteenth century BC

PLEASE NOTE: There is a second clock on another theme incorporating some of the same technical features, begun in 2006 completed in 2010, referenced P136 : "The clock of the 12 virgins who look crazy hours. "
