digital photographs of a commissionable project


The Gestaltzerfall project was conceived following the sculpture Untouchable Love ( April 2020 ). The gloves are made of latex, they are copies of real hands in 1:1 scale.
Gestaltzerfall is an ideal project, realizable only on commission and with variable dimensions. Despite this, the project is designed for large spaces.

The flags, made in digital format, belong to the 20 states with the highest number of victims of COVID 19. The data have been identified on the COVID - 19 Dashboard by the Center for Systems Science and Engineering (CSSE) at Johns Hopkins University.


Gestaltzerfall (German for "shape decomposition") is a type of visual agnosia. This occurs when you stare at an object for too long and end up not being able to recognize its shape anymore. Simply put, if a person reads or hears the same term several times, this term ceases to have any meaning.
