Vertical volumen
Kolumna is Zięta’s variation on the architectural supporting structure — the column. In his concept, he redefines the objective of the column structure and transforms it into an autonomous vertical object. Thanks to the use of the proprietary FiDU method, the artist can manipulate the diameter and the height of the sculpture adjusting it to the dedicated space.
Kolumna, made of seven vertical profiles, becomes a totem, an interrupted story of the rising up into the sky. Kolumna’s composition, based on connected profiles, mimics classical fluting. However, whereas in the ancient Greek architecture the vertical grooves promoted a play of light on a column making it appear more perfectly round, in the case of Zięta’s concept, this structure deconstructs the classical solution making it the focal point of the sculpture’s structure and its expressive power.
