Italian term or phrase: sgrammaticarsi

Hoping someone might be able to help me out this morning...

this is a pretty complicated text about an exhibition by a contemporary sculptor

Vediamo innanzitutto X: non è altro che la riproposizione formalizzata del passo di un uomo individuo e tra linea e sinusoide non è tanto la geometria a **sgrammaticarsi** quanto il movimento ad emergere e l’occhio non può non rilevarlo.

any ideas?
