Agostino Bergamaschi, LITTLE IS LEFT TO TELL

Room 14

The coincidence of the beginning with the end, the idea of cyclicity and the consideration of the end as an inevitable condition for starting again are the premises of Agostino Bergamaschi’s work. There is a very close link between his sculptures: Aspettando il buio I and Aspettando il buio II are two acts of the same script, the poetic description of the arrival of night, which acquires tactile consistency in the sequence of marbles on the point of plummeting and declares its weight, like a guillotine, in the case full of water suspended in the centre of the room, which gradually but inexorably becomes increasingly black.
The narrative dimension becomes explicit in Storia di un colore attratto al centro della terra, in which the title manifests the inseparable relationship between Bergamaschi’s artistic production and the novels on which it is based. Little is left to tell, on the other hand, is a quotation from Italo Calvino.

Agostino Bergamaschi was born in 1990. He lives and works in Milan.
