MATRIZ installation reorders void inside former power plant
Inside the main hall of a former turbine factory in Hungary, Spanish artist SpY has introduced MATRIZ, a large-scale installation composed of a three-dimensional grid of suspended black rectangular elements.
The suspended sculpture organizes the void through a rigorous geometric structure. Floating corridors and vertical alignments emerge from the composition, defining pathways without enclosing them. By suspending the grid in equilibrium, SpY introduces a system that establishes order while remaining immaterial and functionless.

suspended geometric installation balances order and lightness
Visitors are invited to move through the spatial framework, where the relationship between body and structure becomes central. The repeated pattern produces shifting perceptions of scale, as distances and proportions appear to expand and contract depending on movement and viewpoint.
Through MATRIZ, the artist explores the temporary architecture of perception. By suspending simple forms in a precise arrangement, the installation transforms emptiness into a navigable environment that emphasizes orientation, rhythm, and equilibrium.
