Mehdi Moutashar / Quatre plis à 120° - brooch

This work is made up of four identical elements, a single module formed by a strip of metal bent at 120°, which serves as a measure for the entire structure. The mathematical layering of these four elements naturally produces a succession of interior angles, also 120°, following a movement derived from the displacement and the very characteristics of the initial form. The choice of material, 1.5 mm thick metal, which generates no shadows, responds to the need to distract from the materiality of the work, like the trace of ink on paper. This system for measuring space is exponential, and can be expanded infinitely in all directions by changing the axes of orientation. Available in two versions: white lacquer and blue lacquer. Subscription price €200 (first 10), €250 thereafter.
