L'OPERA AL ROSSO
(Rubedo)
art photography and installation, 2013 - 2015
art photography: WINGS IN FLIGHT, SPIRIT and FIRE or the transcendent spirit of L'opera al rosso.
installation: L'opera al rosso (Rubedo) or matter and spirit (the fabric with a core). Rubedo is the final stage of the alchemists MAGNUM OPUS (from Latin - the great work). I worked manually a classic fabric (a red gabardine) in order to give it a new spirit incarnated in its sculptural plasticity. The idea is to evoke the energy of the powerful goddess of love (VENUS) in a new transcendent form - symbol of continuous transformation. The energy which is able to symbolize the conjunction between the strong material body and the invisible spirit. Red like blood - symbol of birth, fertility and flesh meanwhile illuminated from within with the ethereal light of soul.
