Gilberto Zorio, X Y ZORIO, 2010, Courtesy Galleria Oredaria
A great master of contemporary art, rethinks MACRO’s galleries, absorbing visitors into a complete physical and psychological experience pulsing with energy.
In a project specifically created for MACRO, Gilberto Zorio turns one of the Museum’s galleries into a huge work, fully involving visitors. As is so often the case, he has used signs and traces of unusual and diverse materials that are both unstable and unpredictable, in order to involve the identity of the space in constant modification. The result is a place laden with mystery and atavistic symbols, which are always elements of his investigations. These include the five-pointed star, a cosmic image he has made in a whole variety of materials in the past (terracotta, copper, leather, incandescent wire, laser beams, crystal, parchment, and oxy-hydrogen flame burns), which the artist introduces here as a huge horizontal sign. In its constant and sudden alternation of light and dark, it gives us a new experience, transforming our visual perception of space and symbols.
