Farsi largo/Making Space
Janet Mullarney
About this artwork.
Farsi largo/Making Space consists of two figures, a man and a woman, who seem to be floating towards each other. The man hangs on his back, stretched out free in the space. His arms reach for the woman. She is partially stuck in the facade and it almost seems as if she is trying to free herself from it. Due to the posture and the direction of view, these sculptures clearly belong together. Their connection is reinforced by the metal wires coming out of the wall. These lines symbolise the communication between the figures.
The artist was inspired by the place where people pass by or stop to have a chat. It fills the atmosphere. In this way, according to the artist, the thoughts of the passers-by briefly come into contact with the stream of thought of the image.
Architect Adolfo Natalini commissioned the sculpture. Mullarney, like Natalini, also lives in Italy, but is originally from Ireland.
