Natalie Brettschneider preforms Triangles
I found this specific piece very intriguing, even though it was a tiny, unassuming photo in the corner of one of the smaller galleries.
I find it engaging because it is a simple exercise in creating as many triangles as possible with only the human body. It is particularly effective because of the way that the human body is structured, having limbs with a single joint that can bend them into two sides of a triangle. This piece reminds me of those logic puzzles where it asks you, “how many four-sided objects do you see” and shows you a diagram of what seems to be hundreds of rectangles, each overlapping with one another and thereby creating even more rectangles
This piece was made simply by photographing a position into which a human body had been fitted.
To me, this piece exhibits the artists participle of design, rhythm. This is because there is a repeating shape that pervades the entire composition. It is not regular enough to be pattern, but it does impart a feeling to the viewer through the simple obsession with the simplest polygon, a triangle.
