About the Item

L’illusion des Sosies Sculpture by Davide Ronco One of a Kind Dimensions: D 17 x W 46 x H 62 cm. Materials: Concrete. The exhibition title refers to the Capgras delusion, a psychiatric disorder in which a person, commonly diagnosed with schizophrenia, holds a delusion that another close person, pet or object has been replaced by an identical impostor. Joseph Capgras and Reboul-Lachaux first called the syndrome “l’illusion des sosies”, which can be translated literally as “the illusion of look-alikes. As in the delusion, the external casing of the artworks, the packaging first and the mould after, is what creates the form and it is the same both in the original items and in their sculptural contrapositions. The two objects are indeed not the same anymore, but similar and linked by forms, textures, and impressions. The illusion of a ghost from the past in a new form. Styrofoam packagings are an example of our consumerist society where they are used only once for the transportation and safety of the objects, shipped and sold all over the world. They perfectly replicate the shapes and forms of the objects they encase, becoming industrial imprints of our ways of living. After gathering discarded packaging, they are rearranged into moulds to be then cast in concrete new forms that hold memories of their past life. Davide Ronco (IT), is a graduate of the Ceramic MA at the Royal Danish Academy and holds a postgraduate from Konstfack University: Research Lab Craft. He lives and works in Copenhagen. His artistic practice is rooted in extensive material research and a commitment to solid craftsmanship. Through his work, he challenges conventional tools and methodologies, using site-specific installations and temporary interventions to explore the dichotomy between the natural and the artificial. Among others, he utilizes locally sourced clay and challenges the limitations of the material by embracing its inherent cracks and imperfections, and rammed earth in a manner that accentuates its temporal and decaying nature, rather than attempting to shield it from the effects of weather conditions. His ongoing research centers on the concept of Ad Extremum, or “until the end; death,” (the human presence’s narrowness) as a reflection of the precarious existence of humankind. Through this lens, he examines themes of transience, fragility, and decay, and the opposition and discrepancies between humanity and nature. At present, he is working on a new research format based on simple principles and study cases. Sustainable Art Practices: Towards a Socio-Ecological Methodology within Site-Specific, Land and Installation Art. Whether with sculpture, furniture, or site-specific installations, his diverse work revolves around found local materials, vernacular and traditional artisanship, and construction methods, involving sustainable and up-cycling processes.
