Family

Black marble sculpture that represents four mobile elements of a common plain cooking that is associated with a sound track.
The image that is trying to evoke is that of the home: intimate and reassuring.
The four elements, supported to the floor, ideally draw a square that could remember the perimeter of a house: the four sides, but also the four elements of a typical Italian family.
This sculptural object, associate with the sibilant noise of the gas (that is propagated in the environment without combustion); it is the metaphor of a family condition in constant danger that, if not properly identified, run the risk to turn into chaos.
It’s a reflection on the concept of family and on the inside dynamics among the various components that, if not properly fed and cultivated, may collapse under the weight of habit.
The risk is that the typical home, as much family as protective, can be transformed into an anonymous place, where a meal is consumes among people who really don’t know.
