in the exhibition pionier at galerie eigen + art leipzig carsten nicolai realizes his work pionier i, a space installation that varies between the states of stability and instability: a white parachute is expanded by the air flow of a windmachine and flaps in line with the installation continuously and formally controlled, but still comparatively unstable and unpredictable inside the showroom. the parachute is arranged in a deficient balance; it gets into a reeling of the interplay between gravity and wind energy and therefore figuratively provides as a metaphor of the invisible balance between order and entropy.
