Sculpture by Georgi Minchev

 ≈ ∞ "Approximately Infinite ' is a traditionally exibited sculpture,

 made of Belgian blue stone, steel ropes and tensioning system. 

Its compositing is based on the matematicacl symbol of infinity ∞

The steel rops, which aiso have a structural function, depict the

curves of the infinity symbol aroundhte three - dimensional stone

forms. The sculpture possesses concrete physical parameters and logic,

derivedfrom natural phenomena like gravity, tension, strength,

flexibility, etc. Employed are the characteristic and emblematic 

properties of the materials used ( firmness and strenght of stone,

hardness and flexibility of steel). The sculpture includes one more 

element, which in its essence it "action" - through thetensioning

all composition elements are tieg into a single unit. This tensioning

chenges the angle of come of the elements, placing them in "impossible"

position, creating unusual, extraordinary sensation.
