BPT/british petroleum Tropicana
Nero/Alessandro Neretti

This installation consists of classic elements such as glazed earthenware sculptures and objets trouvés as for example a buoy found on the beach and a black rope.
These materials have been found in the middle of nature and once they are reassembled, they show themselves with the same shape, but with a social meaning that is different from the previous one. Now they offer a new look at the global happenings and events * and at the nature of things itself. It is an analysis of an unnatural universe that clashes with human short-term memory and the news which gradually fade away even when problems are unsolved.
Nature as sacrifice of the landscape that, once it is destroyed, carries away and englobes everything.
Nature as space section, as a cocktail kitch of gold and black tropical.
