Part of the Human Fragility series, these sculptures are constructed from sheets and fragments of glass (partly recovered from protective casings, frames of previous works, or broken vitrines) assembled with resin and silicone. The architectural configuration, reduced to ruin, takes on a transparent and unstable form, defined by cracks, fractures, and material accumulations. The choice… Continua a leggere Glass Ruin Project 0
s a series of works created using concertina barbed wire — the razor-edged type employed along military borders. The project, initiated in 2023, was also presented on the occasion of PARÀ DÓXA, the solo exhibition at @galleria.lampo. These sculptures are made from galvanized steel coils, welded and transformed into sculptural forms. The overall project extends to approximately 40 kilometers, mirroring the length of the Gaza Strip. The coils vary in size and weight: • Ø 69 cm, 500 m of wire → 30–40 kg • Ø 150 cm, 1000 m of wire → approx. 100 kg Each element is painted pink on one side and blue on the other, turning a material conceived to wound into one that evokes an infantile, almost toy-like aesthetic — a disarming transformation of violence into delicate illusion.
This project reproduces in scale a destroyed urban landscape. A suspended IV bag slowly releases a red liquid resembling blood. The progressive dripping physically erodes the model beneath, built with fragile materials such as sand and PVC. The intervention is part of a series dedicated to airstrikes carried out on Gaza, each titled after the official names of Israeli military operations. Every installation is visible only once. At the end, all that remains is a video document, presented in the following exhibition. PVC, sand, cement, synthetic blood pigment, programmed drip-release mechanism Site specific self-destructive installation Variable duration (from 72 to 120 hours) Disintegration becomes language. Blood functions as a device. The project vanishes to remain in memory.
BURQA EX CARNE (from the series Human Fragility) Resin and ballistic gel sculpture, approx. 165 cm Anthropomorphic figure covered by a drapery recalling the form of a burqa. The surface, made of resin and ballistic gel, simulates the texture of flesh. The work belongs to the Human Fragility series, focused on the relationship between body, identity and social vulnerability.
