Two Masters is an outdoor installation project by Harpreet Padam developed as a part of the workshop 'Gravity' conducted by British industrial designer Sebastian Bergne at the Domaine de Boisbuchet in Lessac, France. The work is a result of a week long workshop and made using materials avaliable and found on location.
The idea behind the project was to explore the otherwise usual effect of gravity and interrupt it with a secondary force, which is the circular motion experienced by the rock due to its relationship with the pole and the cord connecting the two.
The user/participant swings the rock freely into the air, setting forth a spiralling motion that makes the rock wind and unwind around the pole several times before coming to rest. The process usually lasts between two to three minutes, offering a kind of slow and calming form of entertainment for the participant.
