The Fragility of the Future
The series of monumental papier-m芒ch茅 animals created by Jacopo Allegrucci conveys an urgent re铿俥ction on the fragility of our ecological reality and on the inequalities that characterize our relationship with the natural world. Allegrucci鈥檚 works, inspired by the extinction and depletion of materials, represent a powerful symbol of the environmental and social fractures that threaten the Earth鈥檚 equilibrium. The artist explores not only the disappearance of particular animal species, but also the fragile and temporary condition of the matter that constitutes them. Papier-m芒ch茅, the quintessential recyclable material, becomes a symbol of vulnerability and decay, destined to show signs of aging, especially when directly exposed to the elements. The sculptures鈥攁 whale, an elephant, a giraffe and an hippopotamus鈥� a symbol of the grandeur at risk of extinction, take place in succession in the forecourt of Triennale.
