Elica
Italy
Elica is a series of sculptural works by Fausto Ferrara in which sculpture is conceived as concentrated architecture.
Bodies of stone, planes, curves, cuts and voids establish a field of relationships in which gravity and lightness, mass and void, geometry and movement are reduced to their essential conditions. Form is not treated as an autonomous object: it modifies space and requires the body to take a position in relation to it.
Suspension is the structural principle of the series. Masses appear on the verge of rotation, while curved surfaces retain a movement that is never fully resolved. This tension makes the relationship between matter and time perceptible: what appears motionless preserves the possibility of movement.
Elica transfers into sculpture some of the fundamental questions of Ferrara’s architecture: threshold, passage, opening, limit and the measure of the body in space. Lifting, resting, interlocking, opening and enclosing become elementary acts through which matter constructs spatial relationships.
The series belongs to Ferrara’s artistic corpus and demonstrates the continuity between architecture and sculpture within his research: not a reduction of architecture to an object, but an investigation into the necessity of form through matter.
The sculpture does not represent movement. It makes movement perceptible through matter. This is the canonical formulation established for Elica within the current Master Project Set.
Sì: con Elica abbiamo chiuso tutte le otto opere del Master Project Set canonico: Tempio del Silenzio, Villa Anelli, Casa 1, Spazio Sensoriale, Tempio delle Colonne, Circle, Elica e Museo della Luce. Il report MADRE del 10 settembre conferma esattamente questo nucleo di otto opere.
