Le Grand Verre - AMORFI (14) - rayography on Marco Tortarolo Ceramic plate

Le Grand Verre shows an attempt of disobedience towards the Cartesian scheme, which rules the cultural image of our time. Retracing simple ways of nature, Marco Grassi, Jaybo Monk and in a posthumous manner, Matteo Bologna engage with help from randomness and alchemy of nature and time, on a path of discoveries and experimentations. Indocility of nature against the merciless presence of the human influence becomes with Le Grand Verre, an innocent and poetic esthetical voice. It triggers the mistake that leads to creation. In order to perceive the filled, we must keep an acute sense of empitiness, which surrounds it. Inversely, to appreciate emptiness, we must treat certain areas as if they were filled. We must re-learn to see.
