The 'Balance Bench' by artist Martin Binder redefines communal seating in Einbeck, Germany, compelling users to engage with each other for balance. Its minimalist design rests on a single cylinder, making it unusable alone, thus fostering communication and shared responsibility. Originally planned for a 2021 art festival, the installation reflects the pandemic's impact on social interactions in public spaces, inviting park-goers to share experiences and connections.
The design of the 'Balance Bench' compels users to engage with one another, fostering a sense of community and shared responsibility in public interactions.
