Not dolls, but dollcultural suggestions seen
in Brescia at Studio LB contemporary art. Sabina Feroci’s sculptures freeze in papier-mâché gestures and postures of boys and
girls (even if I thought they were all girls). Compared to the collection of
the same author I happened to discover two years ago, this new wave of
figurines is even more evocative, intense and essential, recalling threedimesional
illustrations of the finest, pastel-like kind, and accessorized with a bit of
pop culture. You have to touch and caress them (even if I didn’t dare) because
the feel is very smooth and warm, and their presence, fills the room both with
sience and imaginary movement. The proportions are also interesting (even if
they are not scale 1.1) – between doll and real person. So far, however, I’m
just the happy owner of ”Meeting Sabina Feroci – a journey of Papier-mâché Dolls” a lovely illustrated book, complete with transfers (even if written
in Chinese). Look at its title: yes, the author calls her creations “dolls” – interesting, isn’t
it?
Dolls reflect. I mean, they reflect the Zeitgeist. They can (make us) think. * Le bambole riflettono. Cioè, riflettono lo spirito del tempo. E sanno (farci) riflettere.
