Development of the artworks through drawings, models and prototypes in order to make this work a unified system of elements that can be adapted and modulated within the exhibition space
The new work, which the artist produced on the occasion of his solo exhibition at Castello di Rivoli, is a reflection on the relationships, both historical and current, between extraction, landscape and subsoil through the metaphor of the circulation of raw materials and energy. The protagonists of the installation are steel pipes arranged like a full-scale oil pipeline that invades the exhibition space in diffuse, sprawling forms. The new production addresses the theme of the subsoil, which is reinterpreted by the artist as a creative and regenerative space. Like a living creature in the process of becoming, the work will come to life, changing form in the course of the exhibition.
