There is no sculpture in the room.

Essay on sculpture; ceramic heaters made with fired clay, volcanic stones, low-consumption heating lamps regulated by timers. Variable dimensions. 2022.

Starting from a paradigmatic example of Arte Povera, the notion of object and matter is analyzed by exploring individual and collective contexts and perspectives as integral parts of the work. The work outlines a post anthropocentric and post patriarchal concept of sculpture that addresses the precariousness of systems and the need to create conscious alliances and conjunctures that include human and non-human beings and other unseen phenomena.
