'Centre off Gravity' is a performative sound-installation by Ildikó Horváth that explores the sense of balance and the relationship of the body with the ground and gravity, based on the sound and physics of kinetic ceramic objects.

Movement activates both the acoustic resonance of the ceramics and digitally mediated sounds, generating layered, spatial sound events that evolve as a live composition. Rooted in Horváth's ongoing research into sensory perception and posthuman ecology, the work approaches listening as a way of reorienting human connectedness within a shared material world.

For the performances during The Image Generator, Horváth collaborates with movement artists Jakobe Geens, Niek Vanoosterweyck, and Amit Palgi, each bringing their own practice into dialogue with the sculptures. The collaboration developed through improvisation-based sessions in which listening guided both movement and sonic response, resulting in a shared process of attunement. On 18 and 19 September, part of the installation remains in the space, inviting visitors to engage with the sculptures and soundscape through movement and touch.
