ABOUT

A large-scale kinetic installation assembled entirely from metal components salvaged from an abandoned factory. At its centre, an industrial turbine becomes both machine and visual vortex, drawing the surrounding architecture into a system of rotation, pressure, and repetition.

The installation reverses the logic of industrial extraction, creating a machine that seems to pull everything inward, consuming energy, light, sound, and human presence.

iN-TAKE formed the central architectural and visual element of IN Club, the first pioneer techno club in Baku, positioned directly at the stage and functioning as the club’s mechanical core. Its movement, scale, and responsive lighting became an integral part of the club’s atmosphere and live events.
