Contemporary sculptures already eroded by an inexperienced time, these are the works of archeology "Finds of the twenty-first century AD" by Simona Ragazzi.
Rediscovered, restored and classified as evidence of a consumerism lived too fast and an inseparable part of a dialogue between the past and present artistic culture.
The works show fragments and stories of people who become a reflective narration and a daily quote of nowadays, through which the artist analyzes some archetypes of our globalized civilization.
The "findings" suggest attention and "love" for life: in particular those directly related to the daily dimension such as "Testa di ragazza" or "Scriba" heir to the thousand-year old Mediterranean tradition that has its roots in Egypt and Mesopotamia.
These art works by Simona Ragazzi are the mirror of a great vital and creative force. Made of different materials, from clay to bronze, they enclose a language rich of explicit iconographic citations. The Bolognese artist has developed an important work of semiotic research on the current art and culture. In fact, the works trace a direct line between the contemporary figurative codes and the archaic cultural elements by meditating on the relationship between past, present and future and by providing suggestions, readings and new narratives. These new archaeological works of Ragazzi reveal a high conceptual and communicative profile which intertwines the dimensions of time and space with sensitivity and humor.
