It stars Rigolo Swiss Nouveau Cirque artist Maedir Eugster, who undertakes to [balance a bundle of wood](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratio-series) like the common plate performance put on by traveling buskers. Intriguingly, everything rests on the weight of a single white feather. People want in anticipation as Eugster adds layer after layer in Balance by Tobias Hutzler. The final flourish is when he transfers the entire weight of the [skeletal leaf-like sculpture](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree) onto a single rod of wood. But it is when the feather is finally blown off and the structure collapses that people will step away in astonishment. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 0.4/10 - Popularity: 1% | Activity: 2% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Equilibrium Performance Art:** Creating new and fascinating balance-based performance art shows and exhibitions. - **Feather Weight Structures:** Developing structures that can balance on a single feather's weight by using cutting-edge engineering techniques. - **Skeletal Sculpture Art:** Innovative new sculpture art created using skeletal designs and natural materials. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Design:** Artists and designers creating new performance art shows, sculptures, and installations. - **Engineering:** Developing new advanced engineering techniques that can be used to create feather weight structures. - **Entertainment:** Creating new and exhilarating performance art for live shows and televised events. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Sculptural Balance Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/calder-rver-en-quilibre.md) - [Seesaw-Like Playful Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/balance-bench.md) - [Equilibrium-Evoking High Jewelry Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/high-jewelry-collections1.md) - [Artfully Balanced Chair Concepts](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/halfway-serious.md) - [Balance-Inspired Seating Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/seating-collection.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Sculptural Gravity Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/floating-bench.md) - [Kinetic Insect Sculpture Lamps](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dragonfly-balance-light.md) - [Balanced Freestanding Storage](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ratio-series.md)
