Impersonal

The space is characterized by a stringent rationality so as to generate in the viewer’s mind a state of hallucinatory perception. The installation can be considered as a kind of conceptual cage, at the same time fragile and violent, within which the viewer, mesmerized by the countless perspective lines, has to move himself carefully, in order to avoid the risk of collapse of the structure. The artist is aware of the fact that forms generate behaviors, i.e. traffic flowerbeds, pedestrian crosswalks and game fields. The social history of Western Art and Architecture boasts a series of similar examples of the human longing for order, such as the Platonic geometric solids, the plants of the classic temples, the golden section and the wind rose. The artist’s aim is to translate all of these conceptual inputs into an harmonic series of geometric shapes, nets and wall paintings. These interventions can be read as expressions of a pointless attempt to capsulate an atavistic need, a kind of crystal prison from which Giulio Frigo will try to escape during a performance that will take place during the opening.
