Instalação feita com uma barra de metal que equilibra um aglomerado de eletrodomésticos em uma de suas pontas e a própria artista na outra. Pendurada por um cinto de segurança, Aleta lida com as questões mais tradicionais da escultura, enquanto tenta compensar o peso dos materiais deslocados do cotidiano para dentro da galeria. O volume da gambiarra desequilibra e esgota seu corpo em um movimento circular repetitivo.


Installation made with a metal bar that balances a cluster of kitchen electronics at one end and the artist herself at the other one. Hanging from a seat belt, Aleta plays with the most traditional sculpture issues, while trying to compensate the weight of everyday domestic materials displaced into the gallery. The volume of the gadgets unbalances and depletes her body in a repetitive circular motion.
