"Kinetic Composition" (1964)

"Kinetic Composition" (1964) by Jesús Rafael Soto is an artwork that explores perception through dynamic movement. It features three-dimensional structures made of suspended rods and threads that seem to shift as viewers move around it. The piece engages the viewer's perception by creating illusions of motion and depth, blurring the line between static sculpture and active visual experience. Soto's work emphasizes how our eyes interpret space and movement, encouraging an active participation in experiencing art. It exemplifies the kinetic art movement, where the focus is on creating works that appear to move or vibrate through optical effects.
