Zvi Hecker's Sketches

The Spiral (Ramat-Gan, Israel)

"It is a work of incomplete precision. Because it is so precise it can't be really finished. No limit to the precision one can achieve. The Spirals incompleteness is also its poetry, because poetry is the most precise expression of our need for precision. Expressive as it is, the Spiral can't be fully understood. "

"It speaks to many languages at once and at the same time. It speaks Arabic about human condition. It argues in Hebrew in the sheer necessity to bring the muscles and materials together, but it is quite fluent in Russian when construction becomes architecture. Its Italian is very Baroque, as spoken in Piemont by Guarino Guarini. The Spiral is a tower of Babel in miniature. "
