Germoglio, 2002 (2005)

steel, watercolor
700 x 547 cm
A circle for unexpected modalities to flourish
"The large circle of metal restores our attention. It stretches out until it touches the walls. At a certain point of the circumference, the drawing on the floor of five circles—each circle having a radius that at right angles is the diameter of another circle—creates the figure of Germoglio . . . . Touching the further points of the space, it is entirely situated in the present. It suggests, as in every momentum, that it is possible to locate unexpected modalities and make them flourish."
(Chiara Bertola, Letter, in Remo Salvadori. L’osservatore non l’oggetto osservato, ed. Chiara Bertola, catalogue of the exhibitio helt at Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice, March 18 - May 8, 2005 [Milan: Charta, 2005], 66)
