Sculptor Paolo Frattari carves a wooden piece live on the sidewalk in the heart of Rome, right in front of Banchi 141—the wonderful space that hosts Japanese artist Mami Kawai.
His age-old craft steps out of the private confines of the studio and into the street, engaging with the space where people pass by in their daily lives.
For the public, this is a unique opportunity to enter Paolo Frattari’s creative world and witness the birth of a sculpture up close. The sidewalk is temporarily transformed into a workspace and creative hub—an open-air studio where art meets everyday life.
The sculpture thus emerges through the artist’s labor and the transformation of wood into a work of art.
In this way, Rome becomes part of the performance: an ancient city embracing an equally ancient act—that of a person using their hands to reshape matter into a new form.
