BURNING GEOMETRY : SPHERE, 2017

I build a 2 m3 wooden cube.
I recreate a form that stands as a multiple semantic shelf.
A square in volume. A basic geometry form.
The cultural heritage defined it, is still defining it, and will continue to.
A simple volume for a not so simple impact, significance.
I wait for night and set it on fire.
I set it on fire.
I appose it a symbolic just as strong, multiple and defined.
I impose it a new form, a new life.
I obtain a form that is not complicated, but complex.

Deconsacration Or, Symbols as Form.
Der Musevm, Leipzig, 2018.

For the exhibition in Der Musevm, I decided to install the video in loop when the fire is at its highest, without any pause or break for over 3 weeks, so that the sphere would burn continuesly as long as the show went on.
