This is about a performance by a Colombian artist. Apparently, it refers to a specific shape that is described here, but I'm not sure there is a word for that shape in English:
En la acción, la artista organizó en el espacio durante un tiempo prolongado objetos que rodeaban su vida cotidiana para luego recogerlos, guardarlos y volverlos a ordenar según taxonomías aleatorias, respetando siempre la forma espiral cuadrada (tipo greca) como referencia rigurosa a la circularidad del tiempo.
Thanks!
