Description

“Coplanal”
define una serie de planos de madera separados aunque interrelacionados que, en
este caso, pueden ser manipulados por el observador. Al ajustarse los elementos
centrales, el móvil sube, baja y se inclina como ave en vuelo. Dos pequeñas
esferas de madera (tipo flotadores de pesca) contribuyen a su juego dinámico.
Semejante a otras estructuras interactivas de esta galería (Kosice, Freire), Coplanal solo se completa con la participación
del espectador.
