Dispositivi Minerali (Mineral Devices) 

Wood, concrete, mirrors, LEDs, transformer, 184 x 90 x 50 cm, 2024

Dispositivi Minerali arises from the need to visually represent the light captured by trees during their growth.

Two openings, carved from the trunks of two trees, invite the viewer to peer inside the stems. Here, a mineral surface is revealed, created by the casting of pigmented concrete combined with stone fragments.

What we observe is a hidden world: the solidification of the plants’ lymphatic movement. Through these portals, the trees reveal an intimate memory of their lost vital part, making tangible the invisible forces of light and mineral nourishment that once sustained their life.
