  1. Interesting piece of art which I have not seen when visiting Barcelona some years ago. For me being a secular person, I really appreciate the more abstract and imaginary perspective. Thanks for sharing this.

    • We kind of stumbled over it. We were visiting the Montjuic castle area on the edge of Barcelona without a guide, and hidden in the main courtyard in one of the many rooms under the many arches is this intriguing piece. It wasn’t identified at all, but I managed to find it through a Google search, and then found out the name of the artist, Carles Berga. Berga has a webpage, and on it is the YouTube video you see above which shows how the piece was constructed.

    A wonderful piece, very thought provoking!

    In design it has the feel of Jerry Andrus’ Impossible Box Illusion.

    I’m still stuck on plane, or plain?, geometry. The third dimension sure makes for some interesting forms.

    • My spatial visualization has always been awful. I had no idea what the sculpture actually looked like until I saw the video–even though I saw it in person!
