    Ectinct Animals Fantasy, 2015, installazione, cotone cucito e dipinto su legno, cm 90x150x2


    Extinct Animals Fantasy



    it is a work composed of a triptych of three stitched links in raw cotton canvas and applied on a wooden support, which frames them as in a case. Three different patterns are painted on the front of the shirts; the conceptual and graphic choice is that of contrasting colorful flowers with skulls (compatible with each other by geographical area) belonging to extinct species of animals. The names of the disappeared species have been specially written on the neck of the shirts, as if to determine the name of a model in fashion design, accompanied, instead of the classic sizes SML, by the word EX, terminology used in zoology to indicate that a given species is extinct. "Panthera Tigris Sundaica", "Homo Sapiens Idaltu", "Diceros Bicornis Longipes" have been chosen from different continents to be the protagonists of this work which, in the provocative and playful contrast together, brings them back to memory in a wearable version, a tribute contemporary for today's society.The conceptual and graphic choice is to contrast colorful flowers with skulls (compatible with each other by geographical area) belonging to extinct species of animals.
