Artist talk: Il principio dello specchio
One of the leading representatives of Arte Povera, artist Michelangelo Pistoletto talks about his creative process and his work The Architecture of the Mirror, 1990, included in the exhibition The Inverted Mirror (until September 2, 2012). The show's title derives from Pistoletto's Mirror Architecture (Architettura dello Specchio, 1990), whose signature material serves as a metaphor for the processes of collecting art. As a mirror can create new relationships between an object and its surroundings and fuse many disparate items into a unified image, Pistoletto's remark in reference to the series to which Mirror Architecture belongs proves evocative for this exhibition: "Now that the mirror has come to light from art, we can see inside history."
