Comunicato stampa

Z2O Galleria | Sara Zanin is pleased to present Marco Maria Giuseppe Scifo’s solo show entitled Habitat.
Two years after his first solo show, Running Glance, the artist presents a new cycle of works that aims to conceive an organic and complete discourse on a landscape that assigns actual and cultural horizons to build a new and acute reflection on world of life.

In a world of ruins, recovery is a product of healing by means of aesthetics that build the necessary exit from the current apathy.
Divided into three platforms, in three critiquing places, in three projects (works in progress) that articulate themselves in the three spaces of the gallery, the design created by Marco Maria Giuseppe Scifo directs the gaze of the viewer in order to reactivate the capacity for global analysis concerning the existence of the self and the species.

The three exhibited projects (Globo pentacisdodecaedro, Habitat – Molecolare e In Nubibus), are characterized by their intention to act in the environment with poetic and delicate intervention. They create valuable access to a meditative process that returns to consider the human being as part of a single living organism in a habitat that is a complete and integral space. The artist proposes the language and concept of ’locus et logos’ in its sense of journey, a journey that highlights the need to recombine (and reconsider) two distinctly distant worlds.To reunite the various horizons of Nature inside a single perspective space (in respect to its physiological and reflective nature). Seen as a pulsing body and as a place concerning experiences and projects, nature is the place where cohabitation, participation and relations form the cores and pieces of human thought and the fate of civilization.

If Globo pentacisdodecaedro, a kinetic sculpture that simulates the planet’s rotation along the axis of the earth, highlights the desire to geometrize the spherical shape of the world in order to evaluate volume, read the skin and expose the limitations of the individual, Habitat – Molecolare (a series of pen drawings in a light-box) considers, on the other hand, the nature of man and animals as small sets of molecular masses moving in space. In his third piece, In Nubibus, a video animation simulates the movement of the clouds, emphasizing the vaporization of things as well as the atmosphere through which the artist lit comparisons, in particular, the metaphor for light on the loss of morality. It is a territory to be conquered again to enjoy a creative scene – one of nature – in constant evolution.
