Romain Dumesnil's 'Calore' at Quartz Studio, Turin
Romain Dumesnil's exhibition 'Calore' at Quartz Studio in Turin explores the poetic intersection of geology, sculpture, and invisible terrestrial energies. The Franco-Brazilian artist (born 1989 in Rouen) creates a site-specific installation where volcanic rocks suspended by magnetic fields produce imperceptible motion, evoking magma flows and planetary forces. A synthetic diamond generates an artificial breath, amplifying the geological respiration. The work dialogues with Anne Carson's 'Autobiography of Red', translating themes of tension, fragility, and loss into visual language. Dumesnil's practice, developed between France, Brazil, Portugal, and South Korea, treats sculpture as an energy field rather than an object. The exhibition runs at Quartz Studio, which becomes a theater for poetic geology where Earth's time and human time intersect.
