Start

Fernando Longo interprets the installation Start as a first message and embrace to his territory. This message is intended to be a hymn to the material, conceived as a coagulating and constructive element, as the manifestation of all thoughts first, and then of real objects. Start is set up to be a sort of “saga” of the material, which is  first presented in its raw appearance, and then, after a few weeks, after a necessary evolution period, shows up as various objects and handicraft artwork.

In the fascinating and symbolic installation Ponte, the horizontal geometry of Finnish birch tables is contaminated with beautiful and warm olive tree figures. It is a clear sign of the extreme sensitivity for the contamination between different places and cultures.
