FRANCO DEL ZOTTO's profile

Riflessione nafta, 2007

Metal pages, where the written word probably represents human doing, reveal themselves to the viewer by boldly surfacing from an expanse of fuel such as naphtha.The work seems to deliberately make advances towards consumerist thought in general in the post-modern era. It makes use of a vital code such as the word to define real human boundaries beyond the easy contemporary encroachments in which the bionic and mechanical nature of things seems to take over human nature.As mechanical energy and fuel for engines, naphtha becomes par excellence the exemplification of the unbridled race towards consumerism and synonymous with the struggle for economic supremacy. Likewise the metallic word, unscratchable and eternal, naturally emerges on the surface, abolishing any possibility of comparison or relationship with mere fuel. The verb testifies itself as a symbol of salvation, a unique and absolute element of our existence beyond any material good.
