Hector & Hector Irreverent, unconventional, irritating, brilliant, sympathetic, generous, explosive and absolutely free from any possible scheme: these are characteristics of an artist like hector & hector. In the Renaissance and even before Giotto's time, art at the museum and gallery level did not exist: the artist was everything, and would have to break with every known thing, destroy the superficiality of the ordinary, remove the mask of the social man and civilized to express the wild and pure individual that each one had within himself.

THE SEMANTIC STATUS OFWASTE Cristina Palmieri Cristina Palmieri With his entrance in the now historical tradition of using recovered objects transformed into art, Hector&Hector assignes them with a poignancy that goes beyond their original utilitarian purpose, in order to give them other meanings, making them symbols of a personal reinterpretation of reality. The Gesthalt school has highlighted how art represents a way of knowledge and organisation of the world, which let things be given an expressive status, that allows a different knowledge of themselves. This is even more true for those talented artists who can create an image of reality inside themselves, which is not subject to a registration of the same reality. Actually, it is creative action; those artists investigate the world in a new way, rethinking and recreating it, far from following the forced and repetitive routine of seeing and observing. They are actually clever in creating a poetry which goes beyond the inhibitions of cliches.
