Style and methods [edit]

His works are expressed in a variety of ways, including images (photographs, films, videos), performances (and their image recordings), prints, sculptures, and installations.

The production of the work is called "job (= project)", and the cartoon that describes the thought of ​​the project is also presented as an independent work.[one] [two]
His work of sculpture or installation is a seemingly unstable construction that combines geometric volumes (cones, spirals) of stone, copper, wood, etc. "I desire to express the existence of something invisible, like the universe, with a work in which the entire structure would collapse without 1 element."[1]

Equally materials for sculptures and installation works, cloth, stone, glass, iron, stainless steel, copper, statuary, brass, lumber (mainly Douglas fir), and natural wood in their solid state are oftentimes used.[1]

His mode looks like an abstract, but what is expressed in his work is the embodiment of invisible forces such as gravity.[viii] [9] [ten]

Commencement in 1971, then in 1972, or even in 1991, he wrote: "What I want to do is to make visible existence, visible connections and visible relations appear more clearly. And to cause not-visible existence, non-visible connections and not-visible relations to appear. And to cause visible beingness, visible connections and visible relations not to appear.",[5] "What shall I at present practise with the world (creation) which denies man agreement and where these three relations comprise antinomies? Shall I find a new meaning in the world? How to shape relations betwixt people? These are questions which deeply business concern me."[ane]

These words expresses the basic concept from the earliest days of his creative person'due south activities.[ane] [five] [xi]
