Born in 1972, Marco BOGGIO SELLA defines himself as a classical artist whose formal approach reflects his concerns about the visual and psychological impact of an artwork. Mixing styles and media, his works integrate sculpture, painting, photography, installation and performance. He is interested first and foremost in the confrontation of twisted, distorted or oversized objects with the viewer's subjectivity.
The installation The Unity of the Real is literally the manifesto of this aim through its mise en scène. In the tradition of Gino DE DOMINICIS' living sculptures, an elderly person in a wheelchair functions as the link between two inanimate sculptures. Through the distorting prism of the silent protagonist's mind, a German helmet appears at the same time monumental and rusty, reflecting the weight of the historical period it recalls. On the other hand, Pacman, as imposing as it is incomprehensible, takes the form of an oversized sculpture that appears blurred or expressionist.
The Unity of the Real is also the title of a representational painting of a cat, rounding out the installation. Divided into four parts, each of them executed with a different technique, it is an exact metaphor for the whole mental construction in which each fragment is linked to the others by a common denominator: reality itself.
