Object Type
DescriptionLas
esculturas de Sacilotto consisten en doblar una forma en varios planos tridimensionales.
Concreção 6045 involucra tres
cuadrados colocados perpendicularmente a la pared, separados en tiras alternas
desdobladas desde el centro. Al caminar en torno a la pieza el observador, cada
cuadrado original semeja tres triángulos. Valiéndose de principios simples de
líneas equivalentes y alternas, la obra privilegia la percepción del observador
que une los triángulos recortados en un nuevo cuadrado perpendicular al
primero.
