Autogirapollici

The Autogirapollici (Automatic Thumb Turner is an electromechanical device designed and created to twiddle one’s thumbs while keeping both hands completely relaxed and without intentionally moving them. The machine itself takes care of pulling the fingers.

The expression “Twiddling one’s thumbs” commonly represents a lack of initiative and illustrates an inactive state. In our case, the attitude in question responds to a desire for performative rarefaction, a sort of synthesis of the gesture that is inspired by and corresponds to the pictorial essentiality of White Square on a White Ground (Kazimir Malevič, 1918).
