VER SACRUM (stabat mater) Print

VER SACRUM (stabat mater) Monstrance, late IXX century, anatomical cast in plaster life size The "holy", by definition, is separate from life. It is something "other" that seems to go beyond human dynamics to flee into a divine dimension, exclusive of a certain type of belief or religion. The reflection created by handling the object takes the sphere of the holy back to a clearly human root and overturns its coordinates of sense in favour of an intimately human, individual experience of the holy, which cannot exclude eroticism and the divinisation of the female anatomy, sometimes martyred, other times banalised and in general inflated in our contemporary world. A femininity that lies like a relic, testimony of a sacrifice reiterated over time. The work proposes to restore dignity to the erotic dimension of man and to the female corporeal poetics, through a symbolic overturning that appropriates the religious simulacrum, now stripped of ideologies and preconceptions of any kind, brought back to its authentic purity.
