The artistic objects displayed in the exhibition From Object to Vision by Franco
Perrotti, curated by Fortunato D’Amico, belong to a system where
serial production integrates with artisanal practice and activates a new
condition of individual and collective meaning. The object takes on a
different dimension of communication, enhancement, and relationship with the user,
articulating a continuity between use, perception, and responsibility. It is an objective
and cultural landscape that makes the balanced relationship existing
between artifice and nature tangible and documents the possible transmutation of the production
process into a conscious experience with the emergence of a new
condition of aesthetic expression.
From Object to Vision traces a progressive shift that occurs from matter
to vision, from technical structure to environmental consciousness,
from the project to the living condition of space.
Raised floors, seating, modular surfaces, lighting systems and fixtures,
and construction components reach a dimension of vision through
the use activated by the artist. The physical device transcends its operational function and is
configured as an element of relationship between body, environment, and behavior
collective. In the project of invention and creation of artifices, nature is for
Franco Perrotti an ecosystem of relationships between form, matter, and human resources,
with tangible effects on social behavior and the protection of biodiversity.
In this context of meanings and signifiers, the work Dissuader occupies
a central position in the critical construction of the exhibition. Elevated from
the ground and placed in the Piazza dell’Arte at Superstudio Più, the sculpture
metallic depicting a pigeon pierced by nails and spikes, makes explicit the
transition from the project to the social dimension of public space.

The monumental Dissuader, suspended in the void and conceived to prevent
birds from perching in urban spaces, is the icon that reveals the patterns of
interdiction spread on a global scale that affect human coexistence
and the relationships exercised through the power of things and their presence.
In a contemporary sky anthropized by the proliferation of satellites
and drones, the work transforms the project into vision and awareness, and the
nature of things into shared responsibility. Access, permanence, and
passage appear as a status of being regulated by material
and symbolic structures and witness the expressive power that the path
of form activates in the micro and macro scenarios of domestic and
territorial habitats. Visible and invisible forms and materials suggest behaviors,
movements, approaches, and distances in collective space.
Franco Perrotti’s art is a compass that guides coexistence and common life,
indicating a conscious practice of inhabiting and an ethics of the use
of space that concerns each of us.
