Mobiles

The mobile is a sculpture formed by elements suspended by wires that balance each other, gently swinging in circles, moved by the displacement of the air. The assembly is complex, as it requires a well-studied weight and balance system so that the movement has rhythm and its duration is prolonged. Its concept and form of production were invented by the American artist Alexander Calder, in 1932. The term has a Latin origin and refers to the idea of ​​mobil which means movement.
