Cantiere. Materia Vibrante





Architectural metaphors and the working world are the starting point for a great journey woven, in tight patterns, into life in the broadest sense.
The exhibition “Cantiere. Materia vibrante” (Construction Site. Vibrant Matter), divided into four macro-sections (Construction Sites Around the World, VIVRE: Between Living Spaces and Human Relationships, CILS: For an Imagination of Reality Between Taste and Work, C-Paisagens: New Visions), presents twenty
years of artistic research, creating a dynamic and cohabitative narrative. The exhibition, designed in the form of a construction site and habitat container, ranges from the tactile comfort of a domestic interior to the harshness of the workplace, creating a short circuit between the work and the viewer. Francesco Meloni uses different media, demonstrating a strong aptitude for free philosophical research; photography, painting, installation, sculpture, performance, and music merge together and play at transcending their formal limits, producing hybrid works that speak the language of the living mind of the world. The built habitat becomes a physical manifestation of the construction site as a mirror of existence. From documentary photographs to the latest tiles/totems, the works are tangible objects of highly refined conceptual studies on reality and human dynamics. It is as if the worker, from the height of the blue tiles of his construction site, could grasp the essence and beauty of life.
