Lygia Clark’s most important conceptual work is the Bichos series (1960–1963). These are metal sculptures with movable segments that viewers can bend, twist, and connect. The works emphasize interaction: the art is not static but lives through human engagement. Bichos transform the object into a process and experience, highlighting the Neo-Concrete principle that emotion, perception, and the body matter more than fixed visual form.
