Radical and participatory, Lygia Clark stands among the most significant figures of the South American avant-garde. As a central voice in Neoconcretismo, she redefined art as a lived experience, dissolving the divide between object and viewer. Her installations invite physical engagement, drawing audiences into direct interaction and challenging the museum framework that treats artworks as fixed forms.
From the 1960s onward, Clark moved from painting toward spatial propositions and eventually toward actions that displaced the object altogether. Her 1963 work Caminhando exemplifies this shift. Influenced by Max Bill’s exploration of the Möbius strip, Clark devised a simple instruction in which the act of cutting and continuing becomes the work itself, placing emphasis on process and embodied experience.
