Livia Spinolo

While this piece is a smaller version of real size pillars, it can be perceived as a precarious architectural structure about to collapse. The work is capturing a moment when an event is about to happen. It is in-between two states.

With this piece I used gravity and time as equally important materials.

With my work I investigate what form and space communicates beyond the visible, referring to Bachelard’s theory of phenomenology of space. I engage with architectural elements which are symbols of solidity and support and that stand as metaphors for the imaginary systems we have created.

My work is a different version of reality and alludes to built, urban landscapes. The aim of my work is to challenge the viewers’ sense of an orderly world.
