COSI’ LONTANO COSI’ VICINO.
ME Vannucci, Pistoia, Italy, 2021
The sculpture is made up of two elements: the first is a plaster angel, portrayed looking down and with a broken wing.The second element is a cherry wood column with a concrete parallelepiped at its far end.The column references to Brutalist Architecture.It was born in 1954 in the United Kingdom (Brutalism) and derives from Le Corbusier’s ‘béton brut’ (raw concrete), which characterizes the “Unité d’Habitation” (1950) in Marseille.Consani’s work questions the relationship between the divine, man and architecture.
