TheEnlightenments sculptural series enact a dynamic tension between opposites: the physical and symbolic antithesis of materials, here, iron and glass. Glass points break through iron barriers, crossing potentially infinite trajectories. Thus, they present themselves almost as obstacles to rationality - a paradox, a koan, foreseer of possible and further “openings” and enlightenments.. Enlightenments are the first works - together with the series of Blade created by Morucchio and presented in Venice in his first solo exhibition Dinamiche

Le sculture della serie Enlightenments sono assieme alla serie Blade le prime opere create da Morucchio e presentate a Venezia per la prima volta alla mostra personale Dinamiche
