MEDIA: foam rubber, acrylic spray.
A daily ritual, commonly known and lived by everyone, becomes a new ambivalent perception experience.
A sort of metonymy between the poured drink by someone into someone else's cup and the message that the gesture conveys.
Objects as symbols of mutual exchange within common social situations, imagined in an outlandish living room as playground for interpersonal communications.
They are all containers, of parts of ourselves too.
Cement sculptures made of foam rubber.
Their effective weight is declared: a number impressed like a given label, which, on the contrary of what a social label usually does, recalls the lability of its essence.
The physical meaning of the word weight has been replaced with its figurative one, harder to quantify since conditioned by internal and external reasons. Weight as attribution of different meaning, value or gravity to words and actions by each human being.
An attempt to show the hidden social operation we do to make things digestible for a public audience.
An attempt to tell how each thing can be perceived differently by the actors interacting with it.
To tell how a gaze determines not only a different reading but also a new version of it, each time conditioned by that gaze.
The nature of these objects is deliberately occasional, for temporary installations, not written in stone (or cement), their finishing is not stable (the porose material gradually absorbs the color unpredictably) and their meaning are open, can be different in the next “encounter”, as much as interpersonal communications and relationships can be.
