A frozen moment. The photograph shows gymnasts captured in motion, as if on the verge of falling. The eponymous Kreisel, meaning a spinning top, serves here as a figure from children´s play, but also epitomizes instability and tension. Its seemingly carefree, joyful spin is in fact subject to the whims of gravity and chance. Held together by the internal mechanics, yet vulnerable to derailment.
