Crazy Beans, 2003
Green-peas, black-beans, azuki-beans, yellow soia-beans, aluminium tubes, colour, variable dimension



Crazy Beans constitutes the idea of a particle, if in a green-pea, yellow soia-bean, an azuki or a bleak-bean, in an instance of its continuous movement. Like “quantistic jumps” where, according to Heisenberg, electrons are able to move suddenly in an unexpected way the beans in my work launce their selves into space creating an abstract drawing. The movement-line has naturally the same colour as the bean that has produced it. Crazy Beans reflects movement in its original substance: The dot is at the same time and really a seed that creates a mobile spatial reality. The structure of Crazy Beans is made of aluminium tubes shaped by hand and coloured. They can be recomposed to create a new spatial constellation.

I find substantial familiarity with Luce Spaziale (Spatial Light) a structure of neon light made by Lucio Fontana for the Triennale of Milan in 1951. Indeed, Fontana says of this work hat it is not a structure-figure but the movement of drawing: It is the space-concept.
