Pol Bury — 865 Points blancs
Pol Bury

865 Points blancs

1966

"865 Points blancs" is a kinetic sculpture by Pol Bury that combines painted wood, nylon thread, and an electric motor to create subtle, continuous movement. The work exemplifies Bury's characteristic approach of using motorized mechanisms to animate white points or protrusions across its surface in slow, mesmerizing patterns. As part of his kinetic art practice, the piece challenges static notions of sculpture by introducing time and imperceptible motion as integral formal elements.
