"The earth and the sky are the extension of our skin, and we live immersed in them like a jellyfish in the sea."
Living is not made up only of bodies, spaces, things, but also of relationships between bodies, spaces, things.
The body is captured in its materiality, in its form which becomes the mold of every housing model, becomes the measure of an environment destined to trace it, producing space starting from its space.
During my academic years I worked a lot on the body, on its idea, on its lines, I produced an infinite amount of live molding and then tried to assemble these pieces with the intention of creating something else, fluid, landscape, fictitious.
Applying the Situationist idea of detournement directly to the body, transforming it into geography, a place that is inhabited and through which one inhabits.
I never quite understood what this endless search meant until I read this very delicate quote by Andy Warhol:
"I take nude photos, but I don't know if I should call them nudes.
I should use a more artistic term like landscapes."
So I really understood what was the feeling I had behind these forms.
What emerges is an installation composed of a puzzle of hexagonal shapes 20x15x20 each, which presents anatomies on its surfaces, anatomies that run after each other through the lines they carry with them, building a map that looks like geography.
The materials are white Carrara marble and clay.
Potentially the extension is infinite.
