Quest’opera mette in tensione bidimensionale e tridimensionale attraverso l’intervento fisico del dispositivo Control, che rompe la superficie e libera un flusso cromatico reale. Il pattern pop degli smile, simbolo di leggerezza e positività, viene così sottoposto a pressione e messo in crisi, trasformando il sorriso in un segnale ambiguo e instabile.

The meeting between image, matter and object generates a visual short circuit between irony and inquietude, where color seduces while the concept questions: is happiness really spontaneous, or is it a regulated flow?
