The beam of a high-voltage line has been cut in half and placed on a bakelite base. The asymmetry is played by a support bolt and a small black marble wedge balancing the anomaly, producing more dynamic to the viewerBakelite is an electric insulator, the high/voltage line is unhinged, the supporting element now modifies the three-dimensional space of a corner in relation to the viewer who stands in its proximity.

La trave di una linea di distribuzione elettrica ad alta tensione è stata tagliata in due e posizionata su una base di bachelite. L’asimmetria è giocata attraverso una grossa vite di sostegno e un piccolissimo cuneo di marmo nero che stabilizzano le irregolarità rendendole dinamiche rispetto allo spettatore. La bachelite è un’isolante elettrico, la linea ad alta tensione è scardinata, ciò che la sosteneva è ora una presenza che modifica lo spazio tridimensionale di un angolo in relazione a chi vi si trova vicino.
