Tomás SARACENO

Zonal Harmonic 1N 150/9, 2017
Metal, polyester rope, steel thread
90 x 160 x 150 cm, ∅ 150 cm
35 ⅜ x 63 x 59 ⅛ in, ∅ 59 ⅛ in
‘Zonal Harmonic 1N 150/9’ (2017) embodies Tomás Saraceno’s polymorphous artistic practice, which interconnects numerous fields and disciplines. The Argentinean-born, Berlin-based artist initially trained as an architect, and is well known for incorporating architecture in his practice as well as numerous transdisciplinary interests, including philosophy, sociology, anthropology, music, ethology, engineering and astrophysics. ‘Zonal Harmonic 1N 150/9’ (2017) is a perfectly balanced mobile composed of metal, polyester rope and steel thread, with each structure held in place through mutual tension. Its interconnected rings, looping around a central point is reminiscent of an atomic structure, like a diagrammatic representation of a scientific form. With a delicate, yet assertive presence, it is almost celestial in appearance, and the simplicity and sharpness of its lines and curves could also represent an unknown planetary system, the sweeping arcs suggestive of orbital trajectories.
