About the Item
Gambi’s process is first guided by chance and intuition and then by precision and skill. He found the marble used in the collection by visiting stone yards in Carrara and searching for evocative off-cut shapes. He then translated that shape into 2D drawings, which were used as a template to cut a mirror image in the reflective steel. With Immersione, Gambi contrasts the rough natural texture of the off-cut stone with smooth, highly reflective steel. Each mirror is formed of a single piece of found offcut marble to which a sheet of reflective steel has been affixed along the flat side. On the other side, the rough and natural parts of the stone are left raw to focus on their dense natural beauty.
“I’m always trying to exalt and illustrate the beauty of stone. When I started working with stones, I felt that we often lose their essence. Stones become just a material that is functional to an aesthetic target that entirely separates the final object from its soul. I try to act with the minimum intervention to underline and illustrate the attraction I feel.” - Duccio Maria Gambi
The mirrored steel has a dematerializing effect on the marble, the reflecting steel applied on the cut surfaces of a marble block generates a double exchange between the rock and the surrounding environment. Steel, through reflection, visually cancels the stone and its weight allowing the object to merge into its environment.
Duccio Maria Gambi maintains a research-storytelling approach where every
work stands as a momentary reflection in an endless research on structures,
materials, processes, time, which he carries on in his actual atelier and studio
in his hometown Florence. Big part of his works revolves around stone,
concrete and the creation of value with poor materials through the artistic
intervention. Winner of Object section at Miart 2017, his work Retrostorico is
since then part of the permanent collection of the Triennale Design Museum.
Immersione collection was part of Dark Times, Bright Signs. “Times have been dark” more than once in history, and “the world has been falling apart” for centuries, countless times, generation after generation. Today, though, dystopia feels particularly realistic—certified, experienced electronically in real-time, and reinforced by scientific theories now accessible to all. Apocalyptic thinking not only surrounds us—it has become mainstream. Driven by this condition of hyperawareness, swept by waves of eco-anxiety, saturated by conflict and forced to face a rapidly-evolving reality —a new generation is developing new languages, perhaps forms of reworking, toward new balances, of hope. At the same time, though, the apocalyptic scenarios around us—or rather, upon us—cannot help but permeate our gaze, consciously or otherwise, shaping the creative language of today and the way we parse the world.
Unique piece.
