Small and mobile, Ordis is moved using wind power generated through its sail. One of the quintessential Strandbeests, Ordis is also perhaps the most versatile, as it functions as the walking unit of several other larger Strandbeests. In the galleries, where there is no wind, it can be moved by assistants, who can pull it along the gallery floor. It’s astonishing lifelike walking motion is typical of Jansen’s Strandbeests.
