GRAAL
Permanent site specific work, Italian Embassy in Bern, curated by Antonello Tolve
DESCRIPTION
Graal is a work that reflects on the concept of relationship, in this specific case that between two neighboring countries such as Italy and Switzerland.
In any relationship there are many points of view and the need to find a balance. Tearing down one of the vases in the Intaliana garden present in the embassy, the artist has reconstructed a vase made from waste that speaks of the identity of the two countries by merging them together. From the front the composition of recycled elements has been finished in gold while from the opposite side the true essence of the materials is revealed. Finally, the title recalls the alchemical power of confrontation which is to transform the defect into value.
