Machine-like figures
In ancient Greece, the Cyclopes helped Hephaestus to forge Zeus’ thunderbolt. Their strength is reflected in these steel forms created by Zięta without the aid of any mythological powers — just using the FiDU technology instead.
Inspired by the powerful posture of one-eyed creatures, Cyclops features an inverted V-shape, with an oval head-like top supported by two widely set legs, each one constructed of three perpendicular profiles. Thanks to its size exceeding human scale, it gives an impression of a powerful walking figure, a living machine-like being.
The Cyclops sculptural group was displayed for the first time at the “Volumetric Expansion” exhibition at the Polish Cultural Institute in Berlin, and its Polish premiere took place during the MMC fashion show at the National Ethnographic Museum in Warsaw.
A single Cyclops sculpture is like the myth that gave birth
to it — it gets old, but does not die. In Berlin, where it first came to existence, it charmed with a smooth yet raw structure. In Warsaw, it displayed the passage of time which granted it even more dignity.
