Medusa - 0823 is an installation created in the summer of 2023 for the first edition of VIVAIO – Mostra in un giardino d’artista, an artistic project surrounded by an amazing natural setting beside the historic centre of Greccio (RI). Medusa is an architecture exercise, it represents the will to occupy a space and at the same time the desire to understand the hidden meaning behind its creation. Its radiation towards apparently random directions, on the border between free will and the unknown, places the observer and the artist himself faced with important questions: why an architecture takes place in a certain space and in a certain direction and what pushes its creator to make these choices? In what way do feelings shape a sculpture and how can you shape a memory? Medusa occupies a space that appears closed: a single volume, like a stone fallen from the sky. Actually, it is a human architecture, made of choices that are not always rational but influenced every moment by the environment in its broadest concept. Its ramifications expand along directions that are not only guided by the desire, but are conditioned by the context, by the interactions and sensations that the artist feels during the realization of the sculpture. Even minimal variations in the context can change its shape, orientation and size, so much that the creator loses direct control over its final creation. The moment the sculpture is completed, the artist suddenly feels like a stranger to it, petrified in a sensation of distance from what he has just finished creating, as if, during the creation of his work, he had lost its constituent secrets. Man gives birth to forms believing they are the result solely of his choices, but there are unexpected variables that are difficult to understand even by those who are directly affected by them.

Anelo1997 is a workshop that designs and manufactures iron sculptures, installations, and architecture. Architectures of pure forms, ferrous structures like diagrams that represent the relationships between men and with space. Archetypal forms, memories that are structured, become fixed in lattices of cubes and lines and continue to project themselves around, in dialogue with the observer. The intertwining of forms tell of encounters, relationships, places and wills. Our stories need lines, welded points and meeting fences to be fixed in space, therefore in time, structuring themselves as a multiplication of shapes that follow one another and stop reproducing only when the meaning is grasped and fixed. Since childhood, we draw lines that run along and off the pages and which in the encounter with a thought, with the Other, close and create a space of relationship where something happens. It’s easy to imagine yourself walking those lines through time and your own memories, stopping in the perfect enclosures where even someone Else has found their meaning in our same time and in our same space. The forms of Anelo criticize and choose to reveal architecture, they follow the need to go back to the origin of things according to a reconstructive criticism. Anelo reaches the zero degree of architecture, modeling the forms in a highly reproductive possibility and maintaining their character of stability, but in a dynamic body. The forms of Anelo continue to move and project themselves around, they change as the point of view changes: stable forms in a flow of transformation.
