Bicho, 1960

The Neoconcrete period in Lygia Clark's work spans from 1959 to around 1964. It is a phase in which we can notice many changes in her artistic process. The Animals inaugurate a new way of thinking about the interaction between artwork and spectator. More than being able to touch them, we must assemble them, even if the material used, aluminum and hinges, impose limitations. The Animals break with the modern idea of ​​forcing the spectator to adopt a certain posture in front of the work. Pay attention to how, when assembling the animal, it resists certain positions and requires the entire body of the person manipulating it to be in action.
