Beside, the
visitor is in front of objects which are normally considered soft, elastic,
deformable as in the case of Sack, here portrayed in a hard and non-elastic
version. Also, this material, often used as a symbol of purity and detachment
from the senses, becomes alive and fleshy, with veins that are perceived
as live body veins thanks to the heavy pigmentation. Objects conceived
to be in a closed domestic environment are presented in an open space,
like furnitures jumped out of the houses; ‘out of place’ as
suggested also by the seemingly causal (but aimingly confusing) placements
of the works in space. Plunging into the methods and history of Italian
creativity, the artist made different historical periods, projectual systems
and ambits of interest, collapse one on top of the other. In the Medioeval
age, most of the attention was given to the creation of public spaces
while today Italian projectuality is mainly known for design and interior
design. Past and present, prosaic and monumental, unique handycrafted
pieces and multipliable products are opposite terms that, in these sculptures,
at first clash then meet and melt together.
