14 cylindres et 14 boules sur un socle
1965
Pol Bury's "14 cylindres et 14 boules sur un socle" exemplifies the artist's signature kinetic approach, employing fourteen wooden cylinders and spheres mounted on a base that are set in subtle, continuous motion by an embedded electric motor. The work demonstrates Bury's mastery of controlled mechanical movement, where the gentle, almost imperceptible shifts of the stained wood forms and cork elements create a meditative experience that challenges viewers' perceptions of stillness and change. This piece typifies Bury's exploration of how motorized systems can generate visual poetry through minimal, deliberate interventions rather than dramatic gestures.
