“The line moves like a loose line and molds its own structure in itself to become a support
for light. The tube, as an extension of the cable, is dressed in white seeking to blend
in with its surroundings. The outline supports the headlight, an everyday object from
a motorcycle. Here, as a readymade or as a found object, the focus becomes the star
that hangs as the point and end of the projection of the line. An object with the function
of lighting and illuminating as a firefly would do, almost unnoticed, like floating, like a
brilliant, like a noctiluca in the middle of the sea.
The creation of “Line - S01C01” represents the materialization of the first piece belonging
to a series of varied designs of lighting objects that are still in the development stage.
This series does not arise with industrial pretensions, on the contrary, Line aims at a
handicraft work much closer to the art scene in a game of constant creation. Its meticulous
construction process makes the production of two identical pieces impossible,
even if that was the intention. The bending of a continuous tubular piece of iron, of
considerable resistance, requires significant geometric precision, does not admit errors,
does not accept welds or ties, and its manual elaboration has required adjustments and
transformations to materialize the initial design, work that in large measure percentage
is executed by the same author.”
