L'Indécis is a metaphor for the influence of magnetic fields on moving bodies in space and time. A magnetic pendulum oscillates, its magnetic field meets other magnetic fields that are constantly influencing its movements. Attracted, repelled, its indecision creates a random dance. A choreography that is sometimes calm, sometimes tightly coiled. The undecided hints at a celestial ballet, making the imperceptible visible.

Through this installation, Jean-François D’Or makes tangible the electromagnetic force that is at work in the universe. He reveals the sample of a celestial ballet making the imperceptible visible. Confrontation and dialogue between two fundamental laws of physics. Magnetism and gravitation.

Since the universe is expanding, in doubt, he did not know if his choice had any importance. Yes, no, before, after, today, tomorrow? Ridiculous hesitations in the face of the absurdity of this great celestial dance. Metaphysical torment, the undecided renounces choosing or chooses to renounce. In this two-star restaurant, finally, he will perhaps have the duck with hay or the beef with anchovy butter, and will not have a starter, it is his choice, since he will perhaps have a dessert, or not.

Visitors take the initiative to activate the pendulum. This interaction immerses them in the observation and contemplation of the gesture that they themselves have provoked. A circular launch puts the pendulum in a wide orbit before entering the arena, a linear launch makes it directly confront the circle of magnets.

The electromagnetic force is, with the force of gravity, the weak interaction, and the strong interaction, one of the four fundamental forces of physics. This long-range magnetic interaction, more powerful than gravitation, is exerted on particles carrying an electric charge, in a repulsive way between charges of the same sign, and attractive between charges of opposite signs.
Our Earth also functions like a gigantic magnet. Around the solid core of our blue planet, iron in the liquid state bubbles. Its movements cause electromagnetic fields that generate our north and south magnetic poles.
