The Sideshow of the Absurd

The Baby Wheel of Fortune is based on one of the original gambling wheels from turn-of-the-century Coney Island. In the center of this wheel is a mechanized baby doll that moves its arms and legs when a viewer activates the work by stepping on an electric mat. Numbers and children’s book icons ring the outside of the wheel, emphasizing the fate and chance involved in maternity.
