About
On one hand, a very strict geometric system: no movement, no deviation. Everything is static and rigid. Full of rules, determination all over the place. Each point, each line, each figure depends on the other. Everything belongs to everything else, nothing can be left out. This may lead to one kind of beauty, triggering fascination, symmetric immersions, contemplation, but may also evoke delight and distress. At the same time a feeling of being unfree and a tendency to something totalitarian are also present.
On the other hand, the violation of laws: the undeterminable, resistance against stability. Transforming the static into movement, a stable system that becomes unstable. The totalitarian character is subverted into an uncertain situation. Rotation, sometimes even aggression, turned around and around. Threats and their contrary; insecurity, ambiguity, a loss of control. Perhaps, here and there, sharp and dangerous forms; something like centrifugal or centripetal forces. And all this can be as fascinating as it can be repulsive.
