ABOUT THE ARTWORK

"The concept of this sculpture has been developed by observing the effects of time on matter, the traces of human action and the processes of dissolution. I decided to isolate things from their original contexts and to assign them a new abstract artistic inspiration. This Decostruzione was born from this research where word and form abandon their intended purpose and are turned into an aesthetic of becoming. Thus a mirror can be broken down into minimal units that are composed into sculptures. This "black mirror" with eyes looking back at you emphasizes the human relationship with social networks, in which identity is part reflection and part vision. The work of subtraction reaches its essence by using cuts that, as the only gestural intervention, provide a new identity, a different order and alchemy. The aging process of the mirror is still ongoing and I find beauty in this process and patina.

Fabio Zanino (Turin, Italy 1978) investigates the details that bring us to the universal in an ongoing synecdoche. Like a magnifying glass, he captures elements from everyday life transforming them into images that stand alone in their aesthetics and meaning, elevating the marginal into the worthy. By observing the effects of time on matter, the traces of human action and the processes of dissolution, Zanino isolates things from their original contexts. By assigning them a new dimension, he investigates the origins of abstract artistic inspiration. Decostruzioni was born from this research. Word and form abandon their intended purpose and are turned into an aesthetic of becoming. So “Do Not Enter,” “Danger” and other road or warning signs, are broken up into minimal units and compose themselves into sculpture, following the simple framework: objet trouvé – deconstruction – assemblage. The work of subtraction reaches its essence by using cuts that, as the only gestural intervention, provide a new identity, a different order and alchemy. Estrangement, upon closer inspection, is the sense of a reality revealed.
