"Woven metal, transparent organisms, soft structures. The attempt to describe Caio Marcolini's sculptural production — through the combination of apparently disparate terms — reveals the multivalent nature of the works.
A structure, which is initially rigid, is made flexible through the technique of its production: metal wires intertwined by the artist (who builds the tools himself) give shape to objects that resemble both human organs and an association of organisms.
'Raiz' is one of these works: it seems to inhabit the walls, as if it were extracting a kind of sap from them. The braiding of threads makes it possible to see its interior, revealing the void, filled with air, which gives it shape and structure.
Apparently contradictory elements can, in this case, become a tangle of meanings that not only refuse an easy interpretation, but open up possibilities — semantic and sensorial — that concern the multiple relationships between bodies, not necessarily human."
Mariana Leme, curator.
