Every Movement Creates a Form

    This series, spanning from 2002 to 2018, explores how movement itself generates form. What begins as a physical sculpture evolves through drawing and video into digital animation. Each step translates the same principle: that time, when made visible, takes on spatial structure. These works do not merely record motion — they render it as material in its own right.

    Transformations

    Start 2002 - Spinning Tops

    The metal sculpture Spinning Tops departs from the suggestion of a spinning top. The form refers not only to a childhood game but also to a deeper archetype: rotation as primal form.

    Rotation is among the oldest movements in the universe — a gesture recurring everywhere, from orbiting planets and spiral galaxies to the cycles of water, wind, and time. It is a motion without beginning or end, continually repeating and reshaping itself: an organising principle that temporarily moulds chaos into structure.

    In this sense, the top becomes more than a toy or symbol of nostalgia; it embodies a primordial motion that is both physical and metaphoric. Within its spin echoes the rhythm of the cosmos and of human gesture — from the whirling dervish to the potter centering clay. Each turn describes a new outline, a fleeting geometry that dissolves as soon as it appears.

    The sculpture enters into dialogue with other artistic explorations of the spinning top, such as the filmic experiment Tops (1969) by Charles and Ray Eames, in which rotation bridges play, design, and visual abstraction.

    The work thus gives form to the instant in which motion becomes shape, and shape returns to motion — a continuous cycle of emergence and disappearance, where time itself becomes material.

    2008 - A1-Drawing

    A graphic translation of the same idea: movement as line, time as form.


    Every Movement Creates a Form No. 1

    A sphere moves from left to right; each displacement in space and time crystallises into a solid structure. Glass was chosen as the material, referring to Tàmas Waliczky’s concept of ‘time crystals’ — making time perceptible as matter.

    2018 - Every Movement Creates a Form No. 2

    A virtual figure performs a continuous movement that, in the second half of the video, crystallises into a fixed form. The camera circles around it, observing a sculpture built from time.


    2018 - Every Movement Creates a Form No. 3

    The artist performs the movement — from sitting to standing. In the first fragment, the gesture is rendered on a smaller scale; in the second, the full motion is retained. The resulting form becomes the trace of the body through time.


    2018 - Every Movement Creates a Form No. 4

    An animated interpretation of the spatial work Spinning Tops (2002). The top is brought to life digitally; its fleeting rotation both shapes and dissolves form, as if the motion itself were the sculptor.
