zube - spatial definITION

Zube reduces structure to its essential geometric fragment.

Derived from the cube but stripped of its full solidity, each “Zube” occupies the space between volume and absence — a form that implies structure without completing it.

The works explore partiality: incomplete systems, suspended architecture, forms caught mid-construction. The negative space becomes as active as the object itself.

Where Cubic Variations investigates repetition, Zube isolates and fractures. The result is a tension between containment and release — a geometry in transition.

Gary collaborated with sound artist Angel Perez Grandi who created original sound tracks for each zube space. The 3D animated video of the Zube is shot in feature film format with a virtual camera 1.2m off ground level and 42.888m away from the centre of the virtual structure. To experience the pure form as conceived by the artist, there is no shading or lighting. Your mind naturally processes the flat 2D lines of the architectural blueprint animation into a 3D object.
