Two iron beams separated by a sea sponge constitute Respiro (Breathing), 1969, a work that brings into proximity a natural, soft, elastic element and a heavy, compact, industrial product. The work is created by the energy that is liberated from the encounter between the two materials; variations in temperature produce minor alterations in the dimensions of the iron beams, which then modify the shape of the sponge.
