Sign made out of five human sized glittering letters, each revolving on its own axis: it is as eye catching as a sign should be although it does not quite deliver the message you would expect from such an advertising device: the five letters indeed spell "LOSER". While each work is negating and asserting at the same time, Piero GOLIA seems to deny his quest of celebrity - or is it only to further affirm it?

GOLIA is back to pursue his personal perception of the rules of art and the creative process. A massive luxury chandelier that would fit perfectly in the seventeenth century building, that houses the gallery, seems to have fallen onto a white socle – figuring between a sculpture created by chance and the demonstration of the artist's ability to transform a simple accident into a work of art.
