Skins. "These images and sculptural objects could be archeological remains which might contribute to shedding light on a lost civilization; perhaps totems or tools for some ritual gatherings or offerings".
Exhibition text: Elisa Tosoni
A constellation of items of uncertain provenance and undefined, denied
function, inhabits the space of Station 21 creating an out-of-time
scenario. Laying at the boundary between the sacred and the science
fictional, these images and sculptural objects could be archeological
remains which might contribute to shedding light on a lost civilization;
perhaps totems or tools for some ritual gatherings or offerings.
They not only push the viewer towards further inquiry on their nature and
purpose, they act as triggers to question his/her own cultural identity.
What would we, our cultural environment and our social cocoon become, once
certain layers of skin would be stripped off and our inner selves exposed
bare? Would our systems of thought and belief still stand on their feet,
although modified by the layering and the crosspollination with others?
Nicola Genovese (b. 1971, Venice; lives and works in Padua, IT) is an
artist and musician currently in residence at OG9 for Rotation Atelier.
