The artwork, “Monument in all Situations” by Lygia Clark, created in 1964, belongs to the Neo-Concretism movement and falls under the genre of sculpture.
“Monument in all Situations” is a visually compelling and dynamic piece, comprising hinged metal or folding structures that can be reconfigured into various forms. The artwork encourages interaction and presents different configurations depending on how the viewer manipulates the pieces. This quality embodies the essence of Neo-Concretism, which emphasizes the incorporation of the viewer’s experience into the art. The sculpture’s geometric shapes interact through folding and overlapping, creating a sense of fluidity and movement. This emphasizes the conceptual nature of the work, which challenges traditional perceptions of static sculpture and highlights the participatory role of the observer.
