Mitad Del Mundo means "the middle of the world" in Spanish, and refers to the location that marks where the equator passes in Quito, Ecuador. The equator is more than a simple geographical border: it has social and political consequences as well, and these evocative differences between the hemispheres are reflected in the piece.Mitad Del Mundo both conforms to and breaks down the traditional concept of a border. Despite its appearance as a solid barrier, it is also open and fluid, allowing communication and light to pass through its gaps. The real innovation of Mitad Del Mundo is its striking interference pattern. Viewed while in motion, the linear circles appear to be moving themselves, creating an exciting visual focal point in this striking work of art.
