During a 40 days residency at Officine Saffi, the artist realizes two installations and a series of videos straining the relationship between him and all the gallery’s staff made up of ladies. A table, full of fire clay sculptures, inspired by the classical view of a Greek temple, play in juxtaposition with the funny video PARTY COLONNA PARTY with the same series of columns…during an house music party.
Lies down, behind the gallery’s furniture, a proliferation of porcelain (made through the cast of eggplants with a nose) celebrating the release of the new album by The Normans (the title of the work is inspired by the famous Italian pasta recipe*).
