[EN]
Made up of aluminum plates joined by hinges that allow for multiple articulations, Lygia Clark's Bichos were created from 1960 onwards. Unstable structures, the Bichos invite the public to manipulate them at the same time as they question perspectives. In Livro-Obra (1983), Clark states: "The Bicho has its own circuit of movements that reacts to the subject's stimuli. It is not made up of independent and static forms that can be manipulated at will and indefinitely, as in a game. Quite the opposite: its parts are functionally related, like those of a real organism, and the movement of these parts is interdependent."

Constituídos por placas de alumínio unidas por dobradiças que possibilitam articulações múltiplas, os Bichos de Lygia Clark passaram a ser realizados a partir de 1960. Estruturas instáveis, os Bichos convidam à manipulação do público na mesma medida que questionam as perspectivas. Em Livro-Obra (1983), Clark atesta: "o Bicho tem um circuito próprio de movimentos que reage aos estímulos do sujeito. Ele não se compõe de formas independentes e estáticas que possam ser manipuladas à vontade e indefinidamente, como num jogo. Ao contrário: suas partes se relacionam funcionalmente, como as de um verdadeiro organismo, e o movimento dessas partes é interdependente."
