Installation created for the exhibition “The wind has risen” at the Villa Medici.
Bosco’s trees have fallen; eaten by the worms, lying on the ground by the winds.
Sections of the tree’s history from the 19th and 20th centuries are on the ground. The thing finally fell apart, at the end. The fragments collected were painted. The made-up logs take on a second skin and change materialities. Illusionist paintings test the domestication of wild forms. Nature is distorted, adulterated.
The fountains follow one another in cascade on the different steps of the staircase. Basins have pierced the bleachers and pour out a multicolored, changing substance that the surrounding silhouettes seem to absorb by osmosis. The liquid has penetrated and tinted the epidermis of this curious assembly. The arrangement of this bestiary of found objects composes scenes that simulate the habitation of places. It is assumed that there is a use for these shaped debris but the furniture and utensils are at different stages of mutation and meaning. Recycling is outrageous because waste is wild forms that it is necessary but complex to domesticate.
