The Fabbri jar has almost disappeared, swallowed up by the brambles and branches of a wood in which one also sees a small human (or humanoid) figure, standing on the lid of the jar.
Is this some sort of human-amarena genetic mutation? From the very beginning of his career, the young Sicilian artist Marco Prestia has produced futuristic, cybernetic images that denounce the malaise of our society, the falsity of the contemporary world.
Using resins and clays he models small figures, small jokes of destiny that have to feed on mummies; that have bellies which open up to release little butterflies. His most recent work has focused on biomorphism, with anthropomorphic figures that seem to come from fairytales. Half-human and half-animal, these exist within a undefined yet genetically very different world, or else they move within landscapes where the blades of grass and other small details make it clear that this is our world; that it could be our own garden or local park. This is when the human variable in these mutations makes itself felt most powerfully, instilling within us the doubt that perhaps such things really do exist.
