Diamond of Otherness - Kaleidoscope of the motions of the soul

Sculpture

Description

This work is based on a phrase by Arthur Rimbaud – Je est un autre, ("I is another") – which starting from 1871 recurs in his writings. It alludes to the concept of becoming and the need, in times of change, for an art that becomes the driving force for renewal and which, through the blending of the normal distinctions between colours, images, sounds, allows us to speak a new language suitable for changed times.

The work appears as a prismatic raw diamond whose reflective facets, with the consequent intermixing of borders and images, opens up in those who enter or pass by and reflect on the possibility of a new word and perception free of old codes.
