La piedra en el camino
The stone on the path is a documentary that involved the convergence of two proposals. Name the task of the third group of artists gathered to inquire about the feminine, taking as a trigger the question: What is a woman? within the framework of the Reencarnaciones artistic experimentation device and the Centro y Ausencia project directed by Gabriela Nafissi. It is, in addition to the meeting of sculptors called by Fernando Rosas, who together with Juan del Balso, Daniel Ciancio, Julio Melto, Flavia Robalo and Verónica Fonzo, (Argentine sculptors who live in Pietrasanta, Italy) using marble as a support, worked for nine days at Bodega Monteviejo, until the works.
What is the stone that was already there, that is experienced as an obstacle despite having no meaning, that manifests itself in that repetition on the path of words and desire? A stone and a path are presented in a double allegory: the path that an analysand travels until the end of his analysis; where the analyst acts as stone. On the other hand, the one performed by the sculptor in the act of sculpting, who, as Leonardo Da Vinci said, operates by via di levare, that is, by reducing the stone, of everything that covers the forms that were already contained in it. .
Isn't the stone a way in which the feminine is presented, that is, the impossible to say? Not in the way of the speaking being. Without a path the stone does not appear, without a stone the traveler would not know which path is. Thus six walkers-sculptors made their way, each one with his stone to discover a precious and unique object.
