DESCRIPTION: MUSEUM-INVESTMENT CERTIFIED WORK
Stefano De Carli (Italy, 1963) | "Il corpo della materia" (Ciclo Riemersi) — Monumental polymaterial sculpture (10.6 kg) with authentic historic bricks from the Campanile di San Marco in Venice (1902). Year 2026.
WORK TECHNICAL SHEET
Type: Polymaterial sculpture and conceptual art installation.
Dimensions: 41 x 28 x 11 cm
Weight: 10.6 kg
Year of creation: 2026 (Made at the Artist's Atelier in Arona)
Materials: Polished brass, porous volcanic tuff split naturally, and authentic historic bricks from the collapse of the Campanile di San Marco (July 14, 1902).
THE MEANING AND ANATOMY OF THE WORK
Fifth central chapter of the famous cycle "RIEMERSI", this work marks the apex of the polymaterial maturity of the Master. A fragment of millennial history that reemerges from oblivion, transforming into pure three-dimensional avant-garde, configuring itself as a true metaphysical altar of memory.
The dramatic core of the installation lies in the inclusion of the original historic bricks of the Campanile di San Marco, recovered from the sea storms on the Lido shore a few steps from Villa Jolanda (the artist's childhood Liberty-era home). These centuries-old clay blocks are held in perfect centripetal balance by the millimeter tightening of polished brass pins (a symbol of the scaffolding of the reconstruction). They dialog powerfully with a massive perforated block of porous volcanic tuff, a magmatic material worked with natural split that serves as an ancestral counterweight. The provenance of the materials is totally transparent and compliant with Public Archaeology protocols of Ca' Foscari University of Venice (
