Last night, under the light of the gallery, I had the pleasure of being part of the intimate inauguration of “Dispositivo múltiple de autodefensa cotidiana” by @marturetmarturet and @albertosassani. This work, ingeniously located in a showcase that serves as a window to both the bustling @mnsantaines restaurant and the street, invites passersby to stop and reflect. The central lighting ensures that every detail of the three-dimensional pyramids and their complex overlays is revealed, showing the work differently depending on whether it is viewed from inside or outside the space.

Alberto's choice to exhibit his work in this context is not casual; it is deeply rooted in his artistic history, working with ‘leftovers’, remnants of past projects that find a new purpose. This practice not only highlights his ability to transform materials, but also acts as a metaphor for renewal and resistance.

The work itself, composed of numerous light wood frames with moldings and matte black 3D-printed objects, arranged on white bases, is a testimony to Sassani's meticulous design, printing, sanding, and painting process. Each element reflects his dedication and careful attention to detail, where even the slightest feature contributes to the overall visual narrative.

The inauguration was not only a presentation, but also a reunion of Sassani with the public, an act of stepping out of the isolation of the studio to share his artistic vision. During my visit, Alberto shared insights about the creation of the 3D models, revealing not only the technical complexity but also the emotional weight of his creative process.

The presence of the work in an everyday environment like the Santa Inés restaurant reinforces the idea that art is not distant or disconnected from daily life, but is an integral part of our daily personal experience. In “Dispositivo múltiple de autodefensa cotidiana”, Sassani not only offers an aesthetically appealing piece, but also proposes a reflection on how art interacts with and enriches our everyday environment.
