ROOM “SU BARCA DI CARTA M’IMBARCO”:
Maria Lai It is the most important Sardinian artist, internationally recognized, of the ‘900; she is famous for her sign which, from the archaic tradition of women’s work of sewing fly to the visionary and poetic installations of bright evocative galaxies.
Antonio Presti describes the room: “This room takes you on a fascinating journey that, from the depths of the abyss, leads to the infinity of the outer space. In the bathroom also created by Maria Lai for whom the water is the predominant element the “vital liquid”, move colored fish, algae and other marine organisms that crowd the walls of this area where the artist has reinvented sanitary ceramics, coating and decorating them. The ceiling is a glass plate that evokes the sea surface. Emerging from that sea, one lands in another space that the artist has dedicated to the two Mediterranean islands, Sicily and Sardinia, respectively evoked by blue and black.
Abandoning yourself on the bed-island, you can admire the imaginary constellations that are reflected in the bedspreads and the stars made of small reflective elements. In the blue-black depths of the walls, stand out swarms of stars and a sun created by a tangle of wires, which is light but also the beginning, the chaos from which was born the matter. The very thought out lighting and the intense colors create an atmosphere suspended between sea and earth, between light and shadow. Synthesis and whole focal point is the split stone that embodies the silence and mystery of these two lands.
One night in the dark to find the light of a star, “escaping for a moment the world of division and entering the wholeness of the world where one thing, one creature says to the other: This is you.”
