Alexander Berchert’s work is vibrant, interactive and playful. He creates kinetic sculptures that display his fascination for physics and embrace the beauty of ready-made objects.

Berchert analyzes the properties and functions of ready-made objects, values their creative potential and uses the basic principles of physics to change them
from ordinary household items into something new, joyful and unexpected. Xylophone Wheel is a homage to Duchamp’s ‘Bicycle Wheel’ one of the most
iconic artworks from the 20th Century and the forerunner to Kinetic Art.
