Theory of Materials.
In this class I was not so present and it seems to me that I copied the test (It was a long time I don't remember) But what better than physical experience ?! In retrospect, I realized it was always better While I was in the previous studio, the talented neighbor Yaron Tal and the amazing project manager (so fun to work with) Yael Rousso came in and told me "Listen, we have a fantasy for some Decroni statue for a new Japanese restaurant" 'Nuh-bahon' (by chef Segev Moshe Birkons) They showed me a small manual bent copper segment and said something like that But with a length of 8-10 m The truth ?! It seemed simple and I must say I take the challenge (It was really a big challenge only at the end did I realize it) As usual, I'm not waiting for a quote, not waiting for customer approval, first and foremost, physically checking, what I can do and how. How do I solve it for such length ?! Straight away I jumped to buy aluminum and started to test how I bend like this freely and manually. I bought 1mm thick aluminum (At first it would have seemed perfectly reasonable for a manual labor) I made a scale model that was built of smooth parts and was a little hard to bend in the form of a free squash. Still, I called my friends to the studio, showed them and still something was not satisfying. The amorphous and moving form of artistic expression of Fire Tongue / Dragon / or Wat Eber has passed but still it was flat in the eyes of us all. Volume had to be produced. 3D. Flat which becomes a complete and strong structure. Then I remembered that once I read somewhere unbelievable; Did you know that your vehicle's trash ranges from 0.3 to 0.7 mm thick? What produces its structural strength is the bending and so we encounter amorphous tin bends in the vehicle design and a design reference for structural strength production. So I looked for a tin like 0.3 and found. Fuck! It's aluminum paper! The material comes in strips as long as desired but only half a meter wide And I must reach the element that is flat at least 15 meters long and 1.5 meters wide so that if and when I start folding, crushing, pressing and playing with the composition of the structure I will get to the required precision: Continuous motion sculptural element 8 meters long and 1 meters wide (after folding) (I am aware and know I am a little technical from my hands today, but this is a project that is all about material and form) I composed three such strips in the studio for the required length and created one unit flat enough. Except for connecting the surfaces, nothing was done beforehand and I must point out that it was pretty scary. I really have no idea what will happen but I know what I'm doing. Trying to know anyway. I solved everything in my head in advance and got started. We made the folds in the area itself, but still need an open space where I can deploy the flat element to play. When we were there and our hands were gone (only we still didn't know it) Stand around and laugh, saying sorry we would bring you our kids to fold the metal like you. And I joke with them and laugh but the pain in my hands starts to seep and I see the amount of scratches in my hands and smile to myself (their children would not survive it) Let's not talk about it two days in a row after the post I couldn't move my palms! We folded and folded and folded, pressed and squeezed. Me and my beloved and beloved lender Hagar Nissimov have created structural strength. Strength that produces material stability and three-dimensional structure made of "paper" overall. What a satisfaction! How fun to see a transformation that a material undergoes after processing and everything is manual. simple. Hard. But overall very simple. Just as I like. It was one of the most complex and difficult projects recently that makes the body and hands crunch together with the material. Half a day of folding, half an hour of coloring, an hour of face preparation And hours upon hours (dropped by editing because the camera fell into place) The composition is hanging itself by playing between the cables that hold the large and long element but which weigh as a featherweight and still difficult to lift because of its length and thus its flexibility. "Aluminum paper" I already said ?! So no longer really paper after the folds, multiples, cracks and bumps. More in materials theory ?! I would love to know what substance exactly releases the adrenaline to the brain / body that the pain feels only the day after, or in the evening, but while working out feel nothing! Yaron Tal Yael Rousso The design is crazy about precision and love Hagar Nissimov Thanks for being with me! Come on to the next project
