BIG BALLERINA Original

BIG BALLERINA
The classical ballet dancer as an icon of beauty and external elegance but also emblem of the hard discipline required to approach an Ideal of perfection that costs sacrifice.
The aesthetic completeness of the sculpture is constantly put in question by the dynamics of light and by a sound which breaks its harmonious and alanced image, creating an emotional disturbance, in a parallel that inspires a reflection between ethics and aesthetics.

In Monte Isola, on the occasion of the exhibition featuring artworks by Angelo Bonello and Michelangelo Pistoletto, Big Ballerina floated on the water, enchanting the surrounding towns.
She was renamed Floating Ballerina in honor of Christo, who had chosen this venue for his Floating Piers installation.
