Perpetual Puddle Vortex.
Plinth, enclosed mechanisms, ink water and oil. A seemingly incidental spillage reveals a spiraling vortex at its center. The puddle appears to be constantly pulled into a void, though it never reduces.

"Antony Hall’s series of experiments catches our attention, in particular “Perpetual Puddle Vortex: Experiment No. 3”, in which a flat dark pool of black ink visibly and audibly drains away through a hole in its centre. We wait to see if it will empty. We wait some more, yet the pool remains full to the plinth’s brim. A technical feat, yes, but accomplished with a filmic brilliance that lends the piece a hypnotic quality. In this piece it was not the puddle that resembles life, but the plinth and the gallery space; drinking and replenishing the endless fluid" Tim Howard
