Anno: 2025

Dimensione: 90 cm X 60 cm

Descrizione: The work is built on a minimal, absurd gesture: holding a single piece of paper—printed with the phrase “THIS IS UNBEARABLE”—through the visual saturation of hundreds of gold magnets.
The device functions as a metaphor for affective and structural overcompensation, where the excess of fastening elements highlights the fragility of the support and the disproportionality of the effort.
By exaggerating a domestic visual code (the fridge magnet), the piece shifts the intimate toward installation, revealing an economy of imminent collapse.
Its formal economy places pressure on the boundaries between support and symbol, affection and containment, visibility and subjective precarity.
