NOEMI FOCELLA
CONCEPT / SYNOPSIS OF THE WORK
The work arranges, on a steel bench, tools in wax-patinated resin, leather, and velvet. A relief iconographic apparatus, featuring hunting scenes and fantastical figures, introduces a narrative dimension that contrasts with the utilitarian nature of the objects. The spiked meat tenderizer evokes force and violence, while the casket guards a hook like an archival relic to be preserved.
