Seletti - Wonder - Lamp

Renaissance art is the emblem of beauty, a beauty never replicated again that still represents Italy in the world today.
Seeing plaster busts in museums has always fascinated me for their plastic rigor, their seriousness but also sometimes for the ambiguity of their looks.
Many times I have happened to contemplate them and almost have the feeling that we can come alive at any moment and do something unexpected and surprising.
What would it be like if all of a sudden a classical warrior made a bubble gum ball and was himself surprised by what he was doing?
The image creates an unexpected and interesting spatial-temporal as well as cultural displacement.
Considering the gesture of chewing gum as something revolutionary and irreverent in a certain sense, let's say that it is not exactly a sign of education but at the same time it represents the carefreeness of those who daydream, of those who love to be amazed and fantasize, of those who are young and free and this is a beautiful image that we should always keep in mind.
