While Gander working on the Luminous Body series, he was researching latex's association with BDSM culture——and that also led him to Shibari. This chandelier is meant to invoke some of the feelings of suspension, of tightness and looseness, heaviness, and weightlessness...

A large mechanism creates continually shifting tensions in a fleshy silicone form. Light is diffused by the silicone, which evokes a flayed animal skin, cut away and stretched for tanning.

The question of “why” is one which expands outwards from the work — ‘why does a chair walk’ refers us to the question of why we do.
