Archivio Remo Salvadori

"The artist’s intervention consists of a kind of post-epiphanic recognition. The work gives place to a reverse epiphany. That which has never been given or which there remains no trace is revealed by the work. In this way, the work seems to celebrate that which apparently is not there, whilst in effect, it marks that which is and is, precisely, ‘continuous’ ‘infinite’ and ‘present.’ Of this work is not so much the manifestation as much as the index. At Montellori the process is explicit: the garden pre-exists the work, and the work marks this. The art of Salvadori acquires a sense which, whilst not upsetting history, moves it in another direction, which is that of the world in its making of itself and of time in its immanence. Intersecting a noble and ancient tradition nevertheless ensures that art is not reduced to a proliferation of symbols, or to their substitutive superpositioning, but is a revealer of power."
