Axer / Désaxer. Work in situ, 2015, MADRE, Naples - # 2 consists of an intervention of architectural dimensions, conceived by the artist specifically for the museum atrium. Facing oblique with respect to the street in front, the museum building is rotated by the artist's intervention to re-align itself towards the opposite Via Settembrini: through 8.7 cm strips of black and white marble (one of the recurring features of the artist's in situ interventions) the floor of the entrance suggests an unprecedented escape route and a potential perspective axis rectilinear to the road axis, making the museum go out of itself to embrace the city around, while a pavilion-structure, composed of colored surfaces and mirrors, reverberates and enhances this new imaginary axonometry. In this way the artist acts on the viewer's point of view, creating a space of perceptual and cognitive mobility, of vision, mediation, mutual attraction and communion, in which interior and exterior, museum and community interpenetrate one another. , until they become confused with each other. Each visitor is thus welcomed and invited, literally at a glance, to be part of the work, to actively participate in the relationship that it celebrates between the institutional sphere and public dynamics. The work thus becomes a real public celebration of the museum and all its visitors, both integral and collaborating elements of the concept of work in situ. Inscribe the works in the context in which they are exhibited, relate to the social mission that motivates the museum institution, contrast a modernity that does not seek contrast with the urban sphere or the historical dimension, but enhances its matrix: this is the meaning of the work .
