Raw material from an anonymous Finnish physics experiment is assembled into a piece of kinetic fantasy. An integral part of the piece is the haunting soundtrack by Mika Vainio of Pan Sonic.
A camera attached to the ceiling, positioned at a right angle towards the ground, reveals a composition similar to that of a constructivist kinetic sculpture. The object vibrates to the very limits of the frame, the soundtrack embraces this rhythm. Despite its appearance, A Physical Ring is not based on a science-fiction film, but on scientific footage from the late 1940's documenting an physics experiment.
