The Mirrors

Superspecchio, 1983,

Acerbis International, Seriate (Bergamo)

Without the encouragement of Acerbis I would probably never have thought of making images meant for reflecting surfaces, perhaps for fear of destroying both at one stroke, the mirror and the image.

But no. The magic of Narcissus lives again, and makes every single piece an object that is always unique and different from itself, through what it reveals, each time, in the space of someone else's desire.
