Why is there vertigo if we know the material holds?
Tests were carried out in the studio regarding the elasticity of the wood.
The limit of resistance and the economy of resources.
Once transferred to the gallery, the entire body performs the test, now measuring the perception of instability.
The verticals and horizontals inherent to architecture become uncertain.
The crossing of the vertical and the horizontal generates a suspense produced by the flexion of the materials. A spatial suspense, without narrative, that remains present and takes place at the moment of action. All the components of the structure are exposed in order to display a precise mechanism of functioning. A suspense machine.
The clarity and solidity of the constructive system that guarantees the safety of the piece is essential in order to agree to and enter the experience.
A state of alertness and awareness are necessary to traverse the sculptures.
Physical and emotional sensations. Instability and vertigo. Identification with the material. The forcing of matter.
