ZODIAC NERVOUS SYSTEM
2014
ALUMINIUM, SERIES OF 12
300×300×0.5 CM EACH

HERE: Aries (head), Taurus (throat, chest), Gemini (lungs), Virgo (stomach and belly), Libra (kidneys and internal genitalia), Scorpio (external genitalia), Sagittarius (thighs, liver), Pisces (feet)

Twelve sculptures in the stands incarnate the nervous system of a zodiac: every sign coincides with and governs a precise part of an entity, which in astrology is called Zodiac Body. This gaseous presence, whose nerves emerge here as massive electric shock, is hardly noticeable but ubiquitous and pervasive. It mediates the influence of the sky on Earth and of the planets on our very nature. We can imagine  Zodiac Nervous System as an abstract anthropomorphic creature, both androgynous and animalistic, whose head is governed by Aries; neck, nape, and throat by Taurus; lungs by Gemini; chest and digestive tract by Cancer; heart, solar plexus, and venous circulation by Leo; stomach and belly by Virgo; kidneys and internal genital organs by Libra; external genitalia and lower digestive tract by Scorpio; thighs, liver, and pancreas by Sagittarius; knees and bones by Capricorn; legs and ankles by Aquarius; and feet by Pisces.

The works are embodiments of cosmic forces that shape our nature and existence. Each piece serves as a conduit for astronomical energies, translating celestial influences into tangible forms. The choice to depict these energies through a nervous system underscores their role in transmitting impulses that govern both physical sensations and metaphysical experiences.

This series reveals how unseen forces impact our daily lives. The gaseous presence they represent may be elusive but is undeniably influential—much like gravity or magnetic field.
