Inspired by the Optical Art illusions of the 1960s, Kinetic Perspective takes a simple piece as its starting point: an ever-spinning circle moving outwards and its illusory effect. In this way, the artist creates an abstract, immersive geometric shape, playing with the perspective of visitors by giving the impression of movement.
A row of eighteen illusions, each composed of two circles spinning in sync, gives the impression of a vanishing point at the eye level of visitors. Invited to actively participate and observe, the audience must move around to uncover the patterns, glimmers and distortion, in which a hidden geometry will be revealed
After studying architecture, he specialized in lighting and digital manufacturing. His multidisciplinary training allows him to fully develop his designs. Juan Fuentes’ artistic line is based on perception and geometry, evoking immersive sensations and experiences in the audience, blurring the line between the real and the virtual. He works on his projects within biomimicry, using nature as a source of inspiration.
