Vortex

Vortex. 1999
Clay, earth.
Riudarenes, Girona, Spain.
«Vortex» sculptural action where I dig a hole in
which after a turning process performed in plaster
a perfect hemisphere whose radius is my height
1.77 meters. In this spherical space at which I
stand, my head forms the center. After leaving
the space went back to fill the gap with the
mined land so that the skin (limit) plaster is only
noticeable as a circular line of 4 cm thickness.
A three-dimensional line as advertisement or
as a sign of not visible integrity. A boundary that
separates the inside out. The sphere is probably
the most representative geometric element of the
separation between the idea of inside and outside.
Made with the help of the sculptor Benjie Alabau.
