Giacomo Sanna

Installation created for Ceramiche Coem by architect Giacomo Sanna at Milan Triennale during the exhibition "A Natural Beauty", with Vittorio Minervini and Alessandra Scardaoni. The themes of a "natural cave" or a "nature path" are typical of traditional romantic gardens in Italy and have been updated with the use of ceramics. Totally man-made modules reproduce the look of a natural stratification process beginning millions of years ago, with a charm and an alienating optical effect.

The first emotion awakened in visitors to this installation – on display at the Triennale in Milan on the occasion of the exhibition "A Natural Beauty" - is the sensation of finding themselves in a special station that seems taken from Alice in Wonderland, in which a tile suddenly grows and grows, multiplying and proliferating like the famous deck of cards. This sensory voyage draws the traveller in, awakening his curiosity and engaging him in a strange, astounding experience.
