Sharmanka (Hurdy Gurdy) Eduard Bersudsky

Sharmanka has touched my life on a number of occasions. A theatre of kinetic sculptures founded by Eduard Bersudsky in St Petersberg in 1989, it has now been based in Glasgow since 1996.
It captures me obviously with its kinetic and automata elements constructed from old sewing machines, wheel chairs ect, but it also has the fantastic added drama of the Shadow theatre. An inspiration on many levels.
