DESCRIPTION: Presented as a possible comparative table, this collection of objects, a meeting of naturalia and artificialia, stresses the relationship between body, nature and culture. The object at the center of this table is a find from the petrifying spring of the so-called Forest of the Horns of Canzo, where the artist’s studio is situated. The petrifying spring is in itself a magical place, where wood is transformed into travertine by the erosive action of water, which in this case adds as opposed to removing. Here the artist has left a cast of part of his own body which in time will turn to rock.
