Untitled (on tiptoe) 2010
Untitled (on tiptoe) is a site-specific installation for the Fondazione Lanfranco Baldi, Pelago, Italy. It is a multi-sensorial intervention performed by scattered coloured glass particles and wallpaper fragments reproducing sky reflections on water. A small watercolour, of two beetles mating, completes the installation.
The glass particles sprawl at first sight like a sand expanse transforms the visitors’ walk through the Fondazione premises into a precarious, frail passage. Leonora Bisagno’s practice of re-using chanced on images and objects introduced into a new context or flow of ideas is here emphasized by the use of recycled glass from a local recycling plant. The installation is a reflection on representation, illusion, fragmentation and reflection itself. Both images and the sprawl prevent an overall view stressed by the cautious steps on the crackling floor.
The fragmented landscape blends natural elements into an illusionary space and the absence of water plants define it as sky though being a water scenery.The illusionary complexity of reflection reveals fully through its opacity and the creation and recreation is also paired with a consideration on the environment.
