La stanza di Cristoforo Colombo (185)

Andrei Roiter, La stanza di Cristoforo Colombo, 1991, mixed media, Collezione Gori - Fattoria di Celle, Santomato (PT)

Temporary installation created for one of the rooms in the Fattoria di Celle. The work consists of a series of heterogeneous objects (mostly agricultural tools found on the Fattoria and reworked) scattered around the room, piled on the floor, or suspended from the ceiling. The green of the park visible through the two windows interacts with the military green that the artist chose to cover the interior walls and some of the objects. Among these, a large sack stands out, from which a small portrait of Christopher Columbus emerges, explicitly referencing the theme of the discovery of America, as do other elements in the installation.
