“End to End”, “from one end to the other” its literal translation, sets the bases for a link between past and present, beginning and end. The beginning can be read between the pages of the book “The Gods Themselves” of Isaac Asimov, that has allowed the artist to reflect on the concept of language, understood as an alphabetical code: a structure of orderly signs, destined to build a communication among different people. The one put in place by Cardarelli has been a meticulous work, a constant virtual clipping, where what might appear like a discard, assumes the semblances of an essential element that individualizes in the precision and in the strictness the oneness of this work.
End to End has been introduced in his design phase inside a study of artist, composing itself of a video projection, an audio track and four sculpture sessions. On the wall have been projected, one after another, the twenty-six black letters on white background, drawn by hand by the artist (and subsequently reproposed in digital format), while the public was invited to take part in it, like it was inside a movie theater.
The sessions, realized in wood, draw on in the form the details of the structure of four letters and, set on the ground, they create a sort of landscape out of the time, a connection “from one end to the other” of the screen. The lines of the letters that appeared on the wall, changed form producing other letters, the fruit always of the previous one, but never equal and, like in a game of mirrors, the spectator entered with the look, but also with the body, looking for of position himself inside it, through the sessions. Touch and sight arent’t the only to have involved, but also the hearing, that is recalled by the sound produced by the conversion of the design in audio through a software, that allows to perceive more and more this particular alphabet as a needy code to be deciphered. It is so, that the title “End to End”, assumes also an expression cryptographic, the encrypted communication system, in which only the people that are communicating can read the messages, excluding a possible third party. In a historical moment like the present, in which the art needs to be also language, the work of Francesco Cardarelli becomes a precious tool in the hands of the public, able to reactivate a spontaneous gesture of sharing over that of writing, done in this case of functions and symbols. The letter, becoming sculptural form, becomes subject, assumes a real physical weight and becomes almost impossible not to see and listen it. It is so that, if the art itself is an alphabet to decipher, the work of Francesco Cardarelli is one of those possible; a new artistic language, on which to introduce new forms and ideas. (text of Michela Murialdo).
