December 2019 - In September 2019, Edoardo Tresoldi unveiled Simbiosi, his site-specific artwork for the Arte Sella sculpture park, an open-air museum in Italy’s Trentino Valley.
The museum and sculpture park was struck by an unprecedented storm in October 2018, resulting in the destruction of various artworks and an upturned landscape. Simbiosi is a 5-meter-tall sculpture recalling classical architecture that sits upon a hilltop created as a result of that storm.
The galvanized welded wire mesh composes a space of rest and contemplation, a ruin suspended between architecture, nature and temporal dimension.
The artwork seems to challenge the force of gravity, like a body that levitates between consciousness and unconsciousness, between the material and immaterial worlds.
