Palmyra Bench in Casted Bronze and Marmo di Rima

About the Item

Ruins by Roberto Sironi is a series of works that re-signify architectural fragments belonging to different historical periods and great archaeological sites, modelling the forms according to new aesthetic representations. The project relates constructive elements of the classical era, such as bases of columns, capitals, sections of an amphitheatre, with rudiments of the industrial era, such as the double-T beams and the reticular structural elements. Roberto Sironi elaborates on the concept of ruins according to a new perspective. Conceived as contemporary ruins, imaginary simulacra and/or programmed artifices – the materials and techniques of execution do not correspond to the original. The work shows how different fragments of architectural remains can be overlaid and re-signified, resetting the temporal distances and suspending the notion time. The Palmyra Bench is the representation of the remains of the Temple of Baalshamin, Palmyra, the archeological site which was destroyed in 2015. The architrave is replaced by a casted bronze double-T beam which rests on three classical columns made in Marmo di Rima. Casted bronze and Marmo di Rima.
