CF C298 by Caturegli Formica. Dimensions: W 75 x D 41.5 H 95 cm. Materials: Steel, glass and plywood. Calligrams 2015-16 What we design and then realize often has a hidden meaning. As ideograms of a mysterious and at the same time familiar language. As sounds of animals well known to us though, we cannot understand their meaning at all. The calligrapher Muso Sozeki Kokushi suggested that perhaps we are not able to interpret the meaning of what happens to us and even to judge whether an event proves to be positive or negative for us. Our theories are like buildings on the sand: both the beginning and the end of our existence are completely obscure to us. Theorems that develop into long demonstrations, lacking both the premise and the conclusion. Like being in a labyrinth of logic with no way to go back, no map to exit, but not even the awareness of the entrance. We can only walk in the present, using signs, fragments, sometimes ruins, skeletons, coating panels, parts of mechanisms... as in a calligram that can outline a poem unknown, but of the existence of which we are sure..
