Attempts at reality

Bodies, machines, plants

Giacomo Cossio

Bodies, machines, plants: attempts at reality
The book was published to accompany the show held during the Arte Fiera Off 2012 at the Torri dell'Acqua exhibition centre in Budrio, with the support of the IL CASONE company.
Giacomo Cossio's work includes sculptures, installations and portraits, in which the physical dimension generates works of art from the powerful expressivity created by various elements that are assembled, placed one next to another and combined. These are works of art where the three-dimensionality is the mouthpiece of an exasperated yet objective attempt to represent things, to capture reality, where reality is represented by objects that can be interpreted differently according to individual and collective memories.
