Sbarco

Two enigmatic anonymous characters carrying a vessel overturned on their shoulders, with the head hidden within it. The two naked men (shipwrecked or not) are motionless and wandering. They are metaphysically bewildered figures at the end or beginning of a journey.

This art piece is a part of the Arte Alle Corti, placed in the courtyard of the University of Torino at via Po.....

The shining surface creates a beautiful reflection of the surroundings and their setup presents an enigma of their journey.....

By artist Velasco Vitali, the installation with its mirrored surface also involves the public and the reality that flow around, making them an integral part. Thus the architecture of the courtyard becomes a metropolitan horizon that is emerging along the bow of the canoe. A horizon that evokes, ideally, what the students look out in their university studies. A new world that will change their lives.
