INSTALLATION
KINETIC SCULPTURE
Gaurav Patekar
Curated by Rahul Gudipudi
Venue: ADIL SHAH PALACE, PANJIM
Time: 10:30 – 18:30
Gestalt psychologists believe that the human brain tends to perceive forms and figures as complete even if one or more of their parts are hidden or made totally absent. This is also known as the law of closure.
Designer and engineer Gaurav Patekar used many small repetitive elements in his kinetic installation. Following the law of closure, these elements created and manipulated volume to generate different forms. Viewers were able to observe how the shape of the installation changed as they proceed through the space, how it responded to their presence and path of movement.
