Carotaggio (Core Sample), 2014

The sculptures on the floor are prototypes produced in 2014 at Calò’s studio in Vignole, an artificial island made of clay, near Venice. The clay is extracted in small columns from the seabed in the laguna in Venice. They are formed by the artist in a process of experimenting, to develop potentialities for new series of work.
