«Vortex»
Riudarenes, Girona
Clay, earth.
1999.
In this sculptural Action «Vortex» with the help of my friend and sculptor Benjie Alabau, we dug a hemispherical hole big enough to contain me, in which after a process of turning in plaster we managed to make a perfect hemisphere whose radius is my height 1,77. In this spherical space in which I found myself, my head coincided with the centre of the hemisphere. After living the space we filled the gap again with the extracted earth, so that the skin (boundary) of the hemisphere remain visible as a 4 cm thick circular white line. A three-dimensional line, as a sign of a non-visible integrity.
The sphere is probably the most representative geometric element showing the idea of separation between inside and outside.
