07 Jun Relativity
It is the first shadow work I have done and belongs to the «Contrasts» section. This work refers to the comprehsion of «good» and «bad».
So, when the sculpture illuminated from a certain point, the resulting shadow is an angelic form while when illuminated from another specific point the shadow is a diabolical form. At first glance we are sure of which form depicts the good and which the bad. But if we look better, we are not so sure about it. In the angelic form, the face does not look so innocent. Also the black wings, the «obscene» dress and a hand that indicates do not also refer to innocence … On the other hand, as we look at the devil’s form, the devil becomes a sweet devil. The face becomes sweeter and we see a smile. His shoulders are tucked in and his head is tilted slightly down. It seems like he has regretted something…
The sculpture is made of many types of recyclable materials (plastic, metal, glass, wood). Each material symbolizes a parameter of our life. The more parameters, the more complex the life, consequently the relativity. This work raises the questions «What is good and what is bad?», How is each defined? Is it based on the other?
