Maintaining continuity (use available materials and apply simplified technologies), as the basis of the work process were Universal shapes were chosen: pipe, parallelepiped, cube. Figures for seizures The material was a cylinder and a cone.

The transformation process consisted of a gradual loss of the physicality of objects, the removal of structural nodes, removing surfaces and boundaries. The selection of sites for the worker “invasion” has been reduced to the basics elements of shapes: plane, edge, vertex.

Complex of interactions of simple forms with penetrating simple ones the figures indicated the double effectiveness of the transformation process.

Firstly, the openness of the original form to lost influence, its ability to sacrifice itself, to literally lose itself.
Secondly, the formation of transformation zones by the offensive incoming flow of an active internal front.
The double effectiveness generally determined the movement of form towards a new, more complex kind of order.

The result of the research undertaken was the idea of that the nature of our activity was in opposition to the traditional work of a sculptor, embodying his idea in the material. Namely - introducing structural destruction, reducing masses, removal of fragments of surfaces - was essentially a gesture of the dissolution of the original forms.

Damage to the body and surface of the form moves the locus attention from its visible boundaries to void formations in such a way that the object is visualized through the form of absence as an extramaterial underside.

The continuation of the form in space, even taking into account the loss of its boundaries, constituted the process of dematerialization of the object as the resulting sum of subtractions.
