Faced with a world in constant movement, Soto responded in kind, employing his knowledge of geometry and negative space to create three-dimensional works that appear to vibrate or shift in space. He worked with unorthodox materials such as nylon, Perspex, steel and industrial paint to attain this destabilizing effect.\u003cbr\u003ePublished to commemorate the centenary of the artist's birth, \u003ci\u003eThe Instability of the Real\u003c\/i\u003e showcases arresting reproductions of Soto's works, immersing readers in his innovative experiments with movement, perception and space.
