Kinetic Interference (2011)

This is kinetic sculpture without anything actually moving. Spanish artist Manuel Ferreiro Badia's Kinetic Interference uses repeated stainless-steel elements to create an illusion of movement as you walk past. Try it from several angles - the overlapping lines seem to shift, separate and reconnect simply because you're the one in motion.

Find Kinetic Interference near Railway Street and Eric Street, on the eastern side of the train corridor. Approach along the public footpath.

Born in A Coruña, Spain, in 1944, Manuel Ferreiro Badia has worked across sculpture, painting, ceramics, medals and large public artworks. Kinetic Interference belongs to a series in which he explores movement through perception rather than motors or moving parts. As your viewpoint changes, the repeated metal elements overlap differently and the apparently solid structure seems to change with you.

The sculpture was first exhibited at Sculpture by the Sea in Aarhus, Denmark, in 2011. It later appeared at Sculpture by the Sea, Cottesloe in 2013, where it received a purchase prize and became part of Cottesloe's permanent collection.

You'll find it near Eric Street and Curtin Avenue. Walk slowly past rather than viewing it from just one spot and watch the interference effect appear as the lines shift against each other. Liquorice Allsorts sculpture is nearby, while a short wander to Jasper Green brings more sculpture, a colourful mural and a playground. With North Cottesloe Primary School also close by, this little pocket east of the railway has become a surprisingly art-rich part of the neighbourhood for children to enjoy.
