All movement is circular
Sala de Carga Art Gallery, 2013. Santiago, Chile.
The piece corresponds to three mechanisms built to generate each one a different movement; pendulum movement, vertical movement and horizontal movement, all produced as a result of a circular movement.The work is the result of an investigation on displacement, which I have been studying in trips or bus rides around the city, in buses on the way to the countryside or to the beach, or in any means of wheeled transport that allows me to do logbook work, reflecting all the time on the movement that allows me to move from one point to another, which is always based on a circular activity.
The installation then, arises from these reflections and materializes in workshop experiments, made with the urgency of doing, building and reasoning around what is created. It is for this reason that the piece includes all kinds of materials, and appeals to the use of objects for their technical qualities, independent of the purpose of their manufacture, playing with the idea of transition, where an electricity cable can be used as a mooring rope or a circular movement can be transformed into a linear one.
