D-MELANCHOLIA

Melancholia is a mental condition that more than others allows reflection and reinvention. At the same time, the polyhedron is a shape that since the age of the great Greek philosophers has inspired philosophical and artistic contemplation.

During the Renaissance, polyhedral volumes as well as the mastery of geometry and perspective became symbolic of profound philosophical and religious truths.
D-Melancholia wants to be the moment when we lay down our ideas, a metaphor of physical and intellectual engagement. The core of this piece is the achievement of a new perspective, where the action of thinking is an improved approach towards society. D-Melancholia comes after of Cyril de Commarque’s Fluxland.

A project that takes its inspiration by the Fluxus movement an artistic revolution in the 1960s that sought to overturn the art establishment and break down the boundaries between art and life. Central to the movement was the idea that art had the ability to advance and better society and that it was imperative that art was accessible to all.

D- Melancholia is an ongoing project. The installation is composed by four sculptures which are exhibited in a line.
