This structure is titled "The East Wind Blowing Through A Greek Mask". It was conceived for the decor of the play "La Maison D'Os" in Paris, 1962.

Pedro Soler designed the wooden platforms and their arrangement for the decor. I designed and then fixed a grouping of plastic tubes to these platforms to form one big structure in which the action took place.

The "Mask" hung in the middle of the array. It was built with copper and brass wire. To give it bulk, quick-solidifying liquid plastic was dripped over the whole form. There was a pleasant surprise when the spotlights were first directed towards "The Mask". It seemed as if the light came from within the object. The plastic layer reflected the light.

In the title "The East Wind Blowing Through A Greek Mask", the east wind refers to the wisdom of eastern philosophy and the Greek mask refers to western culture. This is just another way of saying "interaction".

So you see, the object is one thing and the title can be something else. In my latter works the titles were mostly: dreaming, dream figure and dream landscape. The idea is everybody dreams so let everybody have the first shot at an interpretation.
