31 cubes

31, π x π x π, cubes aligned, π distanced from each other (31 equal 10 times π)
A row of, 61 identical-size cubes, is stretched toward the horizon, composing a string of: matter cube – space cube – matter cube – space cube….
The cubes are made of ice, placed in the desert on a hot summer day. The defrosting process is documented, from the air and from the ground, using 5 stills cameras in time-lapse mode (of 15 seconds intervals).
When the process is complete, a row of 61 identical cubes remains: space cube – space cube – space cube – space cube….
The art-work refers to the relationship between matter and space in the field of art in general and Sculpture in particular.
The project accentuates – formative, climatic, physical, mathematical and geomorphologic - contrasts.
The Cube is the opposite of a sphere from both a geometrical and functional sense. π is used as a mathematical constant to calculate the dimensions of a sphere, using it to describe the dimensions of a cube is contrary to practiced conventions.
This land-art project discusses: global warming, radical climate changes, icebergs defrosting and desertification.
