La Ferita

Classical figurative marble sculpture, originating from the ancient sculptors through Michelangelo Buonarotti, Antonio Canova and updated today in the work of Louise Bourgeois and Maurizio Cattelan, suggests an aesthetic corporality and the transmission of an idealized image.

Limiting marble as a carrier of corporality, the artist tries to find living flesh in it and
to physically let go of the mental pain that the characters depicted carry.

The bloody wound closes and heals, and then opens again - this obsession deconstructs time and space around the sculpture, gives rise to a new meta-narrative of eternal life at the intersection of Christian archetypes and digital culture.
