Gift of BHP through Adelaide Festival Centre Trust 1973 - Adelaide Festival Centre Works of Art Collection

Tetrahydrons

Bert Flugelman

Tetrahydrons leads to the entrance of Adelaide Festival Centre from North Terrace. Formed by seven pyramidal shapes that mirror their surroundings, this site-specific work echoes the structure of the Adelaide Festival Centre.

The polished stainless steel has interactive appeal with its moving shadows reacting with the viewer and with changing weather and lighting conditions.

The sculptures become ambiguous objects in the sense that they reflect their surroundings through painterly qualities.
