Meeting with Sylvie BENZONI-GAVAGE
The Rulpidon in all its aspects
A mathematical and artistic adventure
In the garden of the Maison Poincaré in Paris, the public can admire a steel sculpture weighing three hundred kilograms and two meters on a side, the Rulpidon. With its symmetrical shape, at once square, round and oval, this work by Ulysse Lacoste, immobile but seeming ready to move, is intriguing.
Passionate about this geometric curiosity, Sylvie Benzoni-Gavage leads the investigation. Combining insatiable curiosity and mathematical progress, she guides us into the strange and fascinating world of topology, a branch of mathematics which studies geometric objects from the angle of their invariant properties under deformation.
