Pesi e misure, 2001

Placed at the crossing point between two steel cables stretched diagonally across the ceiling of a room are a frame with a plexiglas sheet and a white passepartout, staggered in relation to each other, as well as a remnant of orange Murano glass.
Despite their being able to be referred to a painting, the elements at play appear to be absolved of their function and are “nonstandard” with respect to the pre-established canon of “weights and measures”. The raised position, in precarious balance, suspends the stability and staticity that usually distinguishes a painting hung on the wall; the frame and the passepartout, instead of coinciding, seem independent of each other; the glass remnant framed by the frame, dislocated with respect to the centre, constitutes an extraneous body, almost as though it were a meteorite fallen from above.
The same theme was developed, albeit in different terms, in a work made during the same year having the same title (GPO-0860).
