With the introduction of a mobile internal counterweight within his hollow spheres, he manages to place these in extreme situations defying gravity. Aproximación a la incertidumbre [Approximation to Uncertainty]. For Bedel, this is a seminal work as it condenses the ideas at its core and is also innately simple as an object. The sphere is harmony as long as it remains at the centre of the base which supports it. However, when it moves to the edge of the base, it creates unease and tension.Bedel presents his works at the Ruth Benzacar Gallery. He is once again awarded the First Prize by the Argentine Association of Art Critics for the first in a series of works about spheres, the synthesis of ‘Absolute Perfection'. Continuing with his hypotheses of destruction, he photographs the progressive collapse of the scale model of a building and begins work building La mano de Dios [The Hand of God], an assembly of five large-scale obelisks coated in electrolytic coal.
