Intent on the language of the street, Siquier’s proposal intervenes the urban landscape with a design where shapes exert a certain hypnotic attraction from every point of view. His goal is for the work to be attractive although it has no elements of seduction or denunciation. “It is an enormous challenge, as life in the city is hard enough to subject the people to dramatic or tough contents”.
The artist chooses a common, very popular space: an esplanade used as a meeting place and a playground. Through his intervention, he modifies the perception of its users, alters it and encourages them to enjoy it in a different manner. “People are wrapped in the plastic situation, and thus the experience turns out to be a corporal one, beyond the mind and the gaze. In the public space I always wish the scale to be sufficiently imposing so that the piece works even when people don’t stop to look at it”.
Not only can the piece be visited and discovered while walking by, but also visualized from above, thus offering a design, whose integration of sounds incites appropriation. The shapes and designs allude to facades and ornaments that either exist in the city or are recreations of the ones the artist has seen in his life.
