Meriç Erdoğan — Gegengewichte
Holding Things Together — Summer 2026
Care can be invisible, especially when it is already received and no longer a conscious need. This notion could be traced in everyday objects, such as a washing machine. Counterweights inside function as support structures, preventing the machine from harming itself and its environment. Gegengewichte reflects on making this invisible support visible, highlighting its ability to both support and destroy, revealed through the stone's vibration and the machine's exaggerated movement in the video.
