Organic Chemistry

Chimica organica (Organic Chemistry), 1988, takes as its starting point an old university textbook, the pages of which have been folded and stapled to form a long snake-like form. Positioned in different ways, depending on the exhibition space, this anthropomorphic sculpture continually changes its shape to adapt to the space it occupies, in an almost Darwinian process. The work ’s playful appearance contrasts with the methodical and destructive process inflicted by the artist on the book.
