MIRKO BASELGIA

The central work is a wooden sculpture in two parts that unfolds between interior and exterior space. The piece is composed of two structural frameworks made from spruce three- layer panels and an outer skin of Swiss stone pine veneer. The forms consist of a series of curved wooden elements that create a hollow body, making both the supporting structure and its cladding visible. One element is situated indoors, standing, while the other is outdoors, lying; together they form a single work whose connection only becomes visible through their physical separation.

The standing form rises upright, asserting presence while forming an interior that remains open. The lying form, by contrast, appears as an opened shell, evoking exposure and vulnerability. Constructed from a visible framework, the piece foregrounds the relationship between structure and surface. The wooden skin never fully conceals it; both interact with one another, shifting attention from the object as a self-contained form to the interplay of layer, space, and material presence. The work does not assert definitive forms; rather, it articulates states, transitions, and interdependency.
