Tomás Saraceno (b. 1973) is renowned for his visionary projects that
envision a future airborne life, inspired by the morphology of soap bubbles,
spider webs, cellular structures, and astronomical diagrams.
The work imaginatively depicts orbits around a central (celestial) object. Delicate metal rods, curved to create circles of different diameters are held by a fine thread in tensegrity, that is, similar to a mobile, their respective weight holds the elements in balance. The open circles and ellipses are nestled around a central polygon knit from the fine black thread.
托马斯·萨拉切诺(1973年)以想像未来空中生活的极富远见的项目而闻 名,灵感源自肥皂泡、蜘蛛网、细胞状结构和天文图像等型态。
这件作品富有想象力地描绘了围绕中心(天文)物体的轨道。精致的金属杆弯曲成不同直径的圆圈,由细线吊住保证张力,像风铃一样,它们各自的重量使元件保持平衡。开放的圆圈和椭圆形围绕着来自细黑线的中心多边形针织物。
