Floating Objects

The wonderful world of the floating objects belongs to the contemporary genre, post-minimalistic, of the installation. Its multiple versions share the obsession for lightness and availability, opportunistic aesthetic correctors to a world always more heavy and opaque, always more closed to the spontaneous process of subjectivation.

With its misleading title, its undertones of the imaginary universe of childhood, the series is perfectly sincere – it promises to put gravity into perspective, in every sense of the term. In this ludic spirit, the installation ends up evoking a giant, anti-gravitational and kinaesthetic Morandi.
