Edoardo Tresoldi has created his new work in Trentino: it is called Symbiosis and was designed for the Arte Sella park

Last Sept. 15, Edoardo Tresoldi (Cambiago, 1987), one of the most appreciated and discussed young Italian artists of the moment thanks to his environmental wire mesh installations, presented a new work of his: it is Symbiosis, a site-specific project created for the Arte Sella art park in Trentino, Italy (the park, located in Borgo Valsugana, all dedicated to the marriage of art and nature where works by artists such as Michele De Lucchi, Ettore Sottsass, Giuliano Mauri, Eduardo Souto de Moura and Kengo Kuma can be found.

For Arte Sella, Tresoldi has designed a work that proposes a sculptural interpenetration between architecture and nature, which explains the reason for the title Symbiosis: an installation that, by the artist’s own admission, also constitutes a turning point in his production, because for the first time the “Absent Matter” typical of his stylistic signature and symbolized by the wire mesh is hybridized with the materiality of local stones. The work, five meters high, wants to compose a space of pause and contemplation and is configured as a ruin suspended between architecture, nature and temporal dimension. The installation aims to be a suspended body levitating between consciousness and unconsciousness, between the material and immaterial worlds, as well as a living organism and an emotional channel of communication with nature.

A typical feature of Tresoldi’s art is that of constructing ruins (when in “reality,” however, ruins are defined by processes of deterioration and decay), with unusual physical rules, in which it is the artist’s design (and therefore not the action of events) that intervenes in its conformation. What Tresoldi calls “Absent Matter” is in fact meant to embody the mental structure that attempts to define and hold the weight of matter, giving it rational form.

With Symbiosis, Tresoldi also wants to invite the public to discover the surrounding landscape through the intentional connections between architectural and natural elements, whose interplay of cross-references defines the sculpture’s aesthetics, meanings and logic. Sculpted by the surrounding landscape, Symbiosis, finally, wants to experience the deep connection with Arte Sella, which has undergone the transformative action of nature. Moreover, nature, with its slow growth, will define a new, further architecture: like the other works, the installation will become part of the fabric of Arte Sella and merge with the park.
