Stopping the time through an object which will be our witness in thousands of years to come, is a conquest. Making it live on as an icon , as a very precious find , is the same as stopping our everyday life.

Nature and its representation are even more necessary in our world as an answer to the invasion of the machine whose presence presses not only the natural environment but also its greatest exponent: Man. Technology makes man a mere number , the last phase of a process taking place somewhere else, while his creative functions are converted into pushing bottons. Depersonalized and aimless, Man cannot keep up with the world he built which gets out of his control (as in “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”).That is why Man’s  thought cannot do anything else but dreaming of impossible flights into a natural reality , into an environment lacking in technical influence  but not existing today.

The last hope is to look for what survived the decay , the essence of those objects which are the witness of the industrial civilization but conceived in their humbleness, that is to say as the result of an assembly line. The only way out is to look at these things as they were the realization of a consumerism which perpetually destroys itself or to understand the elements of this contradictory world within the indifference of rhythms and seasons. The metaphysical representation  goes over the reality : through it the objects lose their bodily features to become symbols of a world which doesn’t recognize them.
