Recycling Workshop as saying in nomen omen . Davide Lazzarini , to this century, the name of the artist who uses it as a pseudonym or brand you prefer the word " Workshop " . He who in addition to making art is a worker internalizes and transcends his direct and continuous knowledge of materials such as iron , plastic, wood waste is in the form of both as objects of production such as pipes, washers, screws , elastic bands , rubber , grids, springs. Everything finished product or waste , of course, is part of everyday object or objects that are part of our lives. His gaze selects and reads the object as object trouvé but not as a fragment of a possible new story. But it is not only the shape or the material to become an ingredient of the art of David but also their tactile and chromatic characteristics that become factually "color" and history , and ultimately life.
The works are sculptures and photographic assemblage using the symmetry of command to the power inherent in itself but also for the ability hypnotic image "mirror" . So appear on the scene of the story of David protofuturistici animals , helmets for bikers or mythological masks ranging from the African ritual and the helmets of a future Middle Age .
Recycling was said , but in this case we can not speak of simple repetition of an object taken from the end of his life in use, to a refusal simply slipped into its final destination and has a " frame adds value " but more properly and maximum level to a high form of " Assemblage " that has among its followers the readymade by Marcel Duchamp and Jean Tinguely 's machines . Even closer to the work of David is the work of the Indian Subodh Gupta with " Very Hungry God " , or " Very Hungry God " , called a giant skull made up of stainless steel pots around 2000 and situated above a floating platform , outside the Palazzo Grassi on the Grand Canal in 2006.
But this is not enough to frame the work of David Lazzarini because its recycling workshop trivially does not pass from one object to another but from an inanimate object to one that has itself features humanoids or animals ranging from the human bionic monsters that populate video games and movies of the genre of science fiction as a kind of revolt waste " transformer" . And this is , in my opinion, the contemporary work of David a "look " that the animate daily passes his hands in his work as a laborer who in his "vision" by artist assembles following mysterious magnetism to become almost figures of rebel warriors of a novel " class struggle" in which the message of a new post- atomic Mad -Max transcends the cycle of life and death , making it a perpetual return .
