Patrick Tuttofuoco's 'Ex-stasis' Installation Unveiled in Brescia
Patrick Tuttofuoco's site-specific installation 'Ex-stasis' has been inaugurated in Brescia, winning the Life Art call at Teatro Borsoni. The steel structure features two large wings—iridescent on the outside, mirrored and luminous inside—and a T-shaped industrial seat facing the theater. Curator Valentina Ciarallo noted the work was selected from over 146 proposals nationwide. Architect Camillo Botticini, designer of the theater, praised the installation's dialectic with the building's architecture. Tuttofuoco explained the work aims to offer a pause from daily rhythms, inspired by Plotinus's concept of ecstasy. The installation is part of the 'Energia creativa per Brescia' project, intended to revitalize via Milano.
