HIDRA - rhombic dodecahedron - sculpture

Creator: Pedro Cerisola
Offered by: Marion Friedmann Gallery

Description
HIDRA is a stainless steel sculptural piece, that draws its name from one of the 48 constellations Ptolomeo registered back in the II Century and is one of the biggest one known so far.
HIDRA is conformed by a single module that repeats itself six times constructing a complex spheri- cal symmetry. In mathematical terms, this structure shows the dual relationship of the tetrahedron with itself. Each module is constructed by a set of two different pieces of laser cut stainless steel.
This sculpture expresses the intent of Estudio Cerisola to constantly push the boundaries of what can be achieved through Geometry and applied in new constructions. This piece is assembled and welded manually by master blacksmiths from Mexico City and, can be installed both indoors and outdoors.
The research of Cerisola is centered on the beauty of geometric constructive principles found in nature and how these systems can be applied to the design and fabrication of modular structures. The findings made are applied to the design of furniture, sculptures, playgrounds, lamps, toys and other daily life objects.

Cerisola states: “The game is the engine of everything. For any human and creative activity it is fundamental to achieve a look from it”. Pedro Cerisola´s work is in private and in public collections, such as the University Museum of Sciences UNIVERSUM in Mexico City. His work has been exhibited at the Museo Rufino Tamayo, Museum of Modern Art in Mexico City and the Franz Mayer Design Museum, among others.
