"Ecstatic Sense" - artistic installation

"Ecstatic Sense" is Stefano Restivo's Suspended Work.

The artist captures eight large paintings from the past and transforms their appearance and experience.

Three key concepts define his installation.

MOVEMENT:

The artwork no longer seeks to figuratively represent movement; the work itself is movement.

INTERACTION:

With "Ecstatic Sense," the way we enjoy a work of art has also changed. It is no longer a precious, distant object forbidden to touch. Rather, the installation must be touched. The audience is no longer just a spectator; they become participants. They are invited to interact with the work.

EXPERIENCE:

The simple, lightweight materials, all the small imperfections of the installation are testament to manual, artisanal work, impossible to mass-produce and not intended to last. They are a symbol, yes, of precariousness, but above all of the fact that what matters are the emotions, the sensations the work evokes, and the reflections it inspires.

In a word, "experiencing art with art."
