Exvoto 2004. Plastic and various materials. 250 ideas packaged in 0.15 x 0.30 m bags. Total dimensions vary.
Ex-voto, a choral installation, a chamber of wonders, under a dim light that transports us to the serene atmosphere of a chapel. Lined up in horizontal rows on the walls and inside delicate plastic bags, we can see hundreds of objects that have traveled from the depths of the artist's studio to our space, making us participants in a singular and incredible universe of materials, shapes, and textures, or found objects that, in many cases, have been the origin of future works, fragments of a memory and identity completely open to continuous evolution and enrichment.

******************************************
The installation titled Exvoto, composed of more than 200 transparent bags hanging from the wall, follows the outline of a sampler, filled with elaborate, delicate objects, rescued, or singularized amidst the flow of time. It is a work created over an extended period of time, like that spent by an artist taking notes or writing a devotional, in this case, with a sense of veneration or gratitude for the truth of nature and for the possibilities of interaction and material reworking.
