Distel is an interactive Installation consisting of a used lawnmower, motion sensor and a securityglass box. The lawnmower is inside the box, hanging at the wall with the cutting edges to the front. By approaching the box, the motion sensor starts the motor of the lawnmo- wer, the rotation of the cutting edges is upright to the face of the visitor. Additionally you hear the sound of the working lawnmower and the air circulation provoked by it and you can see particles of grass, which are part of the used mower loosely flying around. Distel is a collaborative work between the artists Giorgi Gedevanidze and Sissy Schneider.
This work might provoke thoughts and associations like: domination and domestication mechanisms - techniques and practices, annihilation tool, culture and cultiva- tion, ornamental gardens, nature and culture, fetishi- zed landscape formation, torture museum, digestive or- gan, cycles, industrial processing, use, responsibility for one‘s own movement and its effects, beyond human control, exposing the hidden.
