Espai Contaminat. Iacopo Pinelli

In Espai Contaminat, Iacopo Pinelli transforms small traces from his surroundings into sculptures and installations that explore the relationship between nature, memory, and space. An olive pit, a lizard’s tail, spider droppings, the dust from an empty hole, or the old exuvia of a cicada. These elements, modified and transformed into artworks, reveal how natural processes silently infiltrate architecture and everyday life, making visible small things that often go unnoticed and that we only perceive when our minds begin to wander.

Without falling into an orthodox nostalgia for the past, Pinelli’s works  reclaim the importance of objects today and the ways in which they, by infiltrating and altering our living spaces, act as devices of permanence and persistence for memory.
