36kg of Triangle

The work "36kg of Triangle" deals with the unsolvable question of materially measuring concepts. The triangle, as a linguistic idea produced by civilization, exists in its absoluteness only in the conceptual realm. When something with those charachteristics is brought to matter all the material questions start to take place, having size, weight, texture, volume...
This work confronts the abstract ideas of geometry to the tangible world, therefore a triangle is put to its limits starting to exist, ambiguously, by a power of tension that in the form that we know only exists within materiality. The entire establishement of this form comes to be in a way of its measuring, not in terms of bidimensional understanding such as area or perimeter, but by the weight of the tension that produces it: 36kg of triangle.
