This work is a notable installation realized by intertwining steel cables until a perfect circular shape with no beginning and no end is created. The work is thought to create a continuous dialogue involving not only space and time, but also the observer. Presented in variable dimensions, the piece is a great example of Salvadori's idea of sculptures and art itself: an endless process, rebuilding itself through every gaze.
Remo Salvadori was an important figure of the generation following Arte Povera and Conceptual Art. His work expanded the possibilities of artistic thought and form, conceiving art as an experience of "revelation". The attention directed towards time and space in his work, as in his own life, intersects with reflections on the essence of color, the nature of pure metal, and the role of the observer.
Salvadori’s important solo exhibitions include: Palazzo Reale, Milan (2025), Fondazione Querini Stampalia, Venice (2005); Centro per l’Arte Contemporanea Luigi Pecci, Prato (1997); Magasin, Centre National d’Art Contemporain, Grenoble (1991); and the Italian Cultural Institute and The Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (1987). In terms of group exhibitions, Salvadori has participated in Trame, at the Triennale di Milano (2014); Tridimensionale, MAXXI, Rome (2012); Happiness: A Survival Guide for Art and Life, inaugural exhibition at the Mori Art Museum in Tokyo, (2003); Arte italiana 1945-1995, Nagoya, Tokyo, Tottori and Hiroshima, (1997-1998); the Venice Biennale (1982, 1986, 1993); Documenta, Kassel (1982, 1992); Chambres d’amis, Ghent (1986), Correspondentie Europa, Stedelijk Museum, Amsterdam (1986); Ouverture II, Castello di Rivoli, Turin (1986); and The European Iceberg, The Art Gallery of Ontario, Toronto (1985).
