The latter are divided between static installations, in which the figures in his paintings seem to take on a three-dimensional form, and dynamic installations that, thanks to complex mechanisms, give life to original "fuel-free engines." balleri's idea was to design engines that could be powered by minimal forces that would then be multiplied by the action of pistons and pulleys.
