A Maximis AD Minima

Kew Royal Botanic Gardens, London (the UK).

Bronze.

A large bronze sculpture adorns one of the parks of the capital of Great Britain. It consists of abstract and figurative parts, as well as recognizable mechanical parts of industrial production combined into one composition on a low stone pedestal. At the foot of the sculpture, the author left an inscription, “A Maximis AD Minima”, which in Latin means “from large to small”. Among the piling up of predominantly rectangular elements, the viewer’s attention is attracted by human feet and hands that hold onto the levers, controlling the entire structure, like a machinist and a fantastic mechanism.
