“Monument in all Situations” is a sculpture created in 1964 by the renowned artist Lygia Clark. This artwork belongs to the Neo-Concretism movement, reflecting the artist’s exploration of geometric forms and their relationship with space and the observer.
The artwork consists of multiple metal sheets hinged together, capable of being arranged into various configurations. In its folding and unfolding states, the sculpture exemplifies the dynamic interplay between form and emptiness, a characteristic theme in Neo-Concretism. Each configuration of the metallic elements offers a unique perspective and spatial experience, encouraging viewers to engage actively with the piece. Clark’s innovative approach to sculpture is evident in this work, as it challenges traditional static forms to create something flexible, transformative, and interactive.
