Positioning them in a careful manner, he depicts large yet delicate [geometric shapes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tess-pavilion) that remain suspended in such wild and forgotten settings as forests and bridges around the world. Quiet, contemplative and mathimatical, Teo “Moneyless” Pirisi sculptures are much more sophisticated than his original works of art that involved paints, letters and walls. Pirisi states that his carefully choreographed [rope installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/duo-installation) "are reduced to the minimum, at the same time they carry some kind of an intense tension, an invisible movement; most of my patterns hide multiple visions and different perspectives," ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.2/10 - Popularity: 80% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **String Sculptures:** String sculptures are becoming a popular avenue of creating optical illusions in the real world. - **Geometric Installations:** Geometric installations are rapidly growing in popularity as a medium of expression in art and architecture alike. - **Minimalistic Art Installation:** Minimalistic art installations are gaining traction in the art world as a powerful means of symbolizing complex ideas. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Artificial Intelligence:** Artificial intelligence can enhance string installations by controlling the movement of strings and adding another layer of intrigue. - **Architecture:** Architecture firms can incorporate geometric installations to transforming exterior and interior designs of structures - **Event Planning:** Event planners can spice up events like weddings, corporate parties etc. by incorporating minimalistic sculptural installations in the venue. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Geometric Wooden Art Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aleph-geddis.md) - [Statement Street Art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/surreal-street-art-1.md) - [Resin Gravity Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-great-tree.md) - [Geometric Sculpture Boxes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/illusion-box.md) - [Artful Suspended Fashion Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/invisible-figures.md) - [Physics-Informed Digital Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/motion-sculpture.md) - [Sculptural Paper Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fragmenti.md) - [Wooden Light-Hearted Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dream-sculpture.md) - [Collaborative Sculptural Art Sets](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/neojomon-biomorphic-fantme.md)
