OVAL
Monterrey, Mexico, 2009
The Oval piece consists of a graphic approach in accordance with the scale of the landscape. Its very simple shape is based on the vectorial drawing but it suggests different meanings : A hole, a flying saucer, an eye… Its mat black colour gives it a massive presence which encourages the spectator’s imagination to pursue fictional wanderings. The selected Icamole site lies between two hillsides and faces the road to the village beyond. The Oval is suspended in the heart of the nearby hills, a few hundred metres from the village. As such, it appears to be overhanging the village, thereby creating a certain tension with it.
