Décentralisation Print

My plastic research is based on a consideration about the issue of Space through the realization of sculptures conceived as mean of plastic investigation of the Space. My idea of Sculpture concerns sculptures realized in big sizes in order to almost remove their objectual connotation, underlining the connotation of sculptures as pure walkable space, both in relation and through a detached dialogue with the environment the context. My sculptures work as a filter, as a “membrane” that separates themself from the context without isolating them as “objects” and they foster an inverse dialogue between them and the environment. Both the sculpture and the enviromment are enhanced by this relation. This consideration finds a real application on formal level through the realization of sculptures realized in very big sizes: starting from sizes of three metres high for two or three metres large and long of a first phase of the projectual study, where they are already sculptures and not “models”, these sculptures are going to be realized five, ten, twenty, thirty times bigger as plastic spaces completely no-functional. The dimensional influence of each sculpture is a fundamental element for the effective understanding of the meaning of my research that put Sculpture in a strict debate with the context in a way of détachement. The formal structure of these sculptures uses an elaborated geometry and I am more interested in an effective complexity of shape without any decorative goals: it is an asymmetric and fragmented shape violently projecting and never stabilising for the view which is involved to follow the dovetails progressions between different volumes, with their jumps and no-exit ways. Internal spaces are walkable in a way which is never immediate and predicted and they are not conceived to guide to an entrance/exit situation in and from the sculpture in logical and functional senses; furthermore, inclined walls of these sculptures establish an additional destabilization of the view and the physical perception of sculpture’s plastic space in which we are. In my work I exclude any “monumental” aim of Sculpture that is instead a place for crossing and anthitetical dialogue between the architectonic and urban context and my idea of Sculpture is far away from an architectonic approach.
