Chilean artist Sebastian Mahaluf will present his work "Triangle: position, displacement and distance", on Saturday, October 24th at Platform China Contemporary Art Institute.

With an installation of silver elastic bands, Mahaluf continues developing his line of research on the characteristics of the spaces, to take advantage of interior space to developing, objectifying and de-fragmenting its architecture in reference to geometry. The work consists of the partition and accumulation of silver elastic bands, arrayed in inclined and ascending form, and displayed over the walls and ground of the gallery. By putting one over another will create hundreds of triangles that will be integrated into the architecture and create the illusion of perspective. This way the space will be fully open and exposed. The illusion of perspective will be slightly visible, emphasizing the opportunity of interacting, illusory, with the observer. This interaction will allow to capture and control the attention of the viewer while moving through the work. The logic applied to the construction of the work allows space becoming a measurable and - at the same time - intangible matter.
