Seven teaspoons for the end of the world

2021

Seven 800 silver teaspoon with engraved words

Installations, 35 x 15 cm

They are seven silver spoons engraved with worlds I wish would survive after the end of the world, as evidence of the human experience on Earth. Words are nourishment and, for once, they don’t come out of the mouth, but they come in, each one accompanied by the world it carries with it. Seven fragments that, recombining in their order, can generate further worlds and possibilities. I have chosen words that belong to different grammatical categories and that pertain to different sensory areas:

I SING (that in Italian can also mean a poem or a song)

FEET

FLOCKS 

ULYSSES

HUNGER

MARCH

FAREWELL
