365 glasses

2004

The installation 365 glasses is composed of 365 casted wax glasses with a hollow stem filled with coloured inks, orderly lined up on the gallery floor, the initial set up is disrupted throughout the duration of exhibition by spillages of ink on the floor. The malleable material, affected by the change in temperature of the gallery, set the work in motion. 365 glasses is the first of Emanuele’s sculpture where it is the material that becomes performative as the stems gradually melting poured out the liquid.
