Wooden structure, steel
Presented at Palazzo Doria
Pamphilj
Rome,
2018
Curated by Carlota Mastroianni
Commissioned for an
exhibition within the historic Palazzo Doria Pamphilj in Rome—a residence
renowned for its centuries-old art collection and its ties to Pope Innocent
X—Statera engages with themes of balance and human aspiration.
The sculpture is comprised of
four metal triangles: two forming the base and two poised above, creating a structure
that appears on the verge of tipping. This deliberate asymmetry evokes a sense
of precarious equilibrium, reflecting the perpetual human pursuit of stability
amidst uncertainty.
The cold, metallic surfaces
contrast with the implied motion of the piece, suggesting a dynamic tension between
form and gravity.
Statera resonates with the Palazzo's rich history, bridging contemporary design
with classical heritage. It invites viewers to contemplate the delicate balance
inherent in both art and life.
