The sculptures and installations for Waiting for Angels seeks to recompose the conflicts and anxieties of our society by borrowing the biblical passage of Jacob’s dream. Jacob, while sleeping in the desert, dreamed of an endless ladder where countless angels ascended and descended. Through the ladder, the main object of these works, Luca try to “bring back” the angels, messengers and divine bearers of hope and justice, to Earth.

Dans cette exposition, Luca Serasini emprunte l’histoire biblique du Rêve de Jacob pour créer un cycle d’œuvres composé de dessins et de sculptures qui cherchent à apporter de l’espoir pour l’avenir.
Alors qu’il dort dans le désert, la tête posée sur une pierre, Jacob rêve d’un escalier infini que d’innombrables anges montent et descendent.

LE SCALE, GLI ASCOLTATORI
Spazio Serasini, Cecina
March 15-31th
Exactly one year after the beginning of theMarconisti project, I present in this exhibition the new developments: starting from the Gabbro stone I have created 3 other sculptures and a wall sculpture entitled “Isola”. Other stones, this time from the river, smooth, flat, seemed perfect for the sculptures “the listeners” where, together with the ladders, the radio operators wait (or listen) to messages from the ether.

The installation “Gli Ascoltatori” (The Listeners), created by Luca Serasini and Marco Ricci Del Mastro, part of the project The Marconisti, is a contemporary model of how the various artistic disciplines transform themselves into a unicum able to represent both a historical tribute and a perspective vision of the present and future.

Centro Espositivo Comunale di Cecina
April 1st – 16th
In this project, consisting of graphic works, sound environments, and installations, the great value of Guglielmo Marconi is highlighted, a multifaceted Italian genius who contributed to modernizing the world, radically changing society in its human relations. His works represent a varied stratigraphy upon which the most modern satellite communication systems are based, eyes and ears capable of seeing and listening to the Universe in its most intimate secrets.

Gli ascoltatori (the Marconisti 360°)
sound installation
In the installation Gli Ascoltatori/Marconi 360 there is a clear reference to the figure of Guglielmo Marconi and to the biblical passage that tells of Jacob’s Dream, between a mutual alternation of concepts that investigate matter and spirit, Earth and Sky and the bond that unites not only visually these two areas of existence. If we think, for example, of the ladder dreamed of by Jacob…

Dial J for Jacob
interactive installation
Taking up, in an ironic sense, the title of a Hitchcock film, this interactive installation takes the visitor back to the time when the telephone was an object to move towards, and here becomes the narrator of Jacob’s earthly and spiritual events…
