A chaotic and confusing tangle of pop art shapes form a free representation of images as they appear in the mind before becoming overwhelmed by logic. These are the characteristics that continually define Halo Halo’s work. The room has been completed filled, with spatial coordinates and architectural elements losing their significance. Rather, they are substituted by the whims of the Torinese artist’s stream of consciousness. In this work we find the mechanical gears that harken back to the space’s former function, a small self-portrait of the artist, classical architectural elements, and details of the cicadas that, with their chirps, kept accompanied the artist during his time at the ex Caserma Guido Reni. With these images, the artist recalls the context in which he worked and invites us to immerse ourselves completely inside his evocative, ocean blue world.
