The proposal conceived by SpY unfolds with a constantly transforming composition, in which the viewer's path around the sculpture and the viewpoint from which it is observed condition the perceived form.
The kinetic sculpture was materialized with sixteen vertical slats in continuous rotation, in which the forms visually collide and transform.

SpY presents DISLOCATION, a new kinetic sculpture that explores perception, time, and movement as sculptural materials.
SpY's practice systematically explores the relationship between perception, space, and collective behavior in the public sphere. Through large-scale interventions and a formal economy akin to minimalism, they disrupt the ordinary reading of the environment and activate new modes of attention.
In the previously unseen work presented at Serrería Belga, the artist extends this research into the field of kinetic sculpture.
Installed in the main atrium of the Serrería Belga cultural space, SpY presents DISLOCATION, a kinetic sculpture composed of sixteen vertical slats in continuous rotation, where the forms visually collide and transform before the viewer's eyes.
In this piece, movement and time operate as sculptural materials that structure the experience of the work. They not only alter the perceived form but also condition its understanding, provoking a state of perceptual dislocation. Thus, the sculptural form is not conceived as a finished object, but as a consequence of time and movement.
In this process, figures that initially appear stable become ambiguous, producing illusions that affect perception. Constant rotation confounds spatial reading, blurring the notions of rotation and depth.
The viewer's movement around the sculpture generates successive formal variations. Each viewpoint produces a different configuration, establishing the work as a composition in constant transformation.
