AVVOLTO
LUCA DEGARA – 2012
In Luca Degara’s Avvolto, the breadth of the dimensions coexists with the lightness of the materials. The local larch wood was worked in such a way that all the pieces used, bent with the help of steam, come from a single trunk cut longitudinally.
The work is located in a sort of corridor of the pine forest and, at the point where this corridor bends to one side, the curvature of the structure corresponds in the same direction. Avvolto is an installation in search of harmony and dialogue with the place, it is a space that like the forest encloses, delimits, without ever completely isolating, that creates a continuous exchange between light and shadow, the self and the world. It can be crossed or used as a refuge in which to stop to let one’s thoughts come out. Like the skeleton of an animal, it lies underground waiting for nature to do with it what it wants.
