“A few years later, Ribé transferred this proposal to a real experience in the installation The Best Way of Expressing It [part of the exhibition ideas at the Idea Warehouse, organized by the Institute for Art and Urban Resources and directed by Alanna Heiss in New York, 1975). In this case, the experience is intended to provoke not only a sensory experience, but also an emotion, but also an emotion. The piece consists of a fan on the floor oriented towards a plumb line, which is kept immobile, since it is placed at a distance so that no air reaches it. The plumb line, tensioned by the force of gravity, marked the vertical line. The air flow causes an invisible angle but perceptible in space, so that the geometry becomes a sensory phenomenon. The words that describe it (The Best Way of Expressing It) indicate Ribé's conviction that certain things can only be expressed through art.
