Quando lo spazio si appiattisce il volume è nei nomi, 2003

5 elements in copper, 5 elements in wood (cypress, ash, cherry, oak, elm)
100 x ø 410 cm
A table built by multiple hands
“A large disk with an empty center and five sectors of different wood species, cypress, ash, cherry, oak and elm presents itself as a table, set atop supports whose construction has been done by multiple hands.”
(Antonella Commellato, "Intervista con Remo Salvadori", in Il Cantiere. Remo Salvadori Palazzo Chigi, San Quirico d’Orcia, Siena, ed. Francesco Tiribelli, catalogue of the exhibition at Palazzo Chigi, San Quirico d’Orcia, May 3-September 29 [Florence: TRA-ART Museo, 2004], 507)
A form that is born for the encounter
“Quando lo spazio si appiattisce il volume è nei nomi is the title that in its visual density is immediately capable of describing the air established in the listening, in its dilatation and contraction . . . the sign and the name of someone who, by meeting, has given them form.”
(Chiara Bertola, “Letter,” in Remo Salvadori. L’osservatore non l’oggetto osservato, ed. Chiara Bertola, catalogue of the exhibition at Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice, March 18 - May 8, 2005 [Milan: Charta, 2005], 51)
