Remo Salvadori’s time and space

'Nel momento [In the Moment]' is a gift from Remo Salvadori and was part of his exhibition 'L’osservatore non l’oggetto osservato [The observer not the object observed]' of 2005. The work dates from 1973 and is created from the cutting and folding of three lead sheets. The act of cutting, following numeric and harmonic relationships, is an act of discipline for the artist. The aim is to open up the substance to the force of light and free it from the obtusity of its own dark and deaf nature. The lead sheets spread on the ground trace a path, marked by the way they relate ‘in the moment’ with the architecture of different times and spaces.
